Beautiful Oregon!

We went to visit Danny's parents, his sister and her family in Bend recently. I've been up there a handful of times in the last 8 years (wow, I've been with Danny that long?) but never in the summer. I'm sold! It is so beautiful. I did not photo shop any of these photos, the sky is really that blue. We hiked, drank good beer, enjoyed great company, ate, went to a children's festival, little water park, drank good beer, ran, played shuffle board, ate some more. Did I mention we drank lots of beer? If I lived in Bend, I would have a beer belly for sure. They have at least 6 breweries in the city, good micro brews, no cheap crappy beer. Heaven! I ran my ass off so I could eat and drink my ass off. Danny and I took a brewery tour and were able to see exactly how it is made. Very interesting! We had such an awesome time, I can't wait to go back soon! Ryder and Regan had so much fun with Granny, Poppy, Auntie, Uncle and all their cousins! If the price was right (Danny making enough $$$) I would move there in a heartbeat!

Few hour day trip, Danny, Poppy, Ryder and I

Can you believe the slopes were still open on the 4th of July, AWESOME

There was a Children's festival going on called Balloons over Bend. It was awesome, and every morning the balloons flew over the houses at 7am



Beautiful trail run to the top of Pilot Butte



good conversation



someone was lookin like this and not being very friendly. the next morning he had 103' fever. hes a good sick patient

this awesome ride is Cycle Pub. You can rent it by the hour. You have to pedal to move but have a driver that steers for you. You can eat and have cocktails as you cruise through town bar hopping. It was booked the entire time we were there :(

my love and I at the Cascade Classic bike race

Ryder enjoyed watching 100's of bikes racing 40  mph through downtown

Danny and I had a date night on the river at a great restaurant. We were eaten alive by mosquito's but the company was so worth it.

Danny and I did trail running up Pilot Butte while Poppy and Regan walked the paved path and met us at the top for a fabulous view.
