SUNRIVER!

The long awaited trip to Sunriver lived up to all expectations.  First off, Happy 40th Anniversary to my parents.  It was just so cool to have all the cousins together... and of course be with all three of my brothers (who if you know me well, you know I adore) and of course their wives (you too girls :).   I have never heard so much laughter, and seen so many smiles and cuddling from 8 little kids as this past week.  Goodbyes were hard and we are already being requested by ours to go back.  By the way- be sure you catch the bike race video :)

Little behind I know... but need to post this before I get to our Sunriver pictures!  Our Fourth celebrations took us from Bend (with the Cooks) to the Beach (with the bunch).
