Last party before school starts
We decided to head out the door to Sunriver the last weekend before school starts. It was full of all the regular adventures we have come to love. We went with Jen and Tyson Scott and their three kids. We were there Friday through Monday and it was a great time away from work and home responsibilities. Here we are the first night on our first ride to the duck pond.
Something new that we haven't done before is take the lift at Bachelor up to the top. It was FREEZING cold on the lift. We brought all the clothes we could and blankets and we still froze to death. Luckily you can buy boiling hot hot chocolate at the top and sit by the fire.
The kids got to do the bumper cars, so did the dads. Play miniature golf. Jump on huge trampolines. Climb rock walls. Jump in bounce houses.
The men went fishing and caught some fish. They mostly stared at the fish and begged them to bite their flies, but they did catch a few.
The women did some pretty amazing puzzles and talked about everything you can imagine. And all the adults stayed up watching murder investigation shows.
Bike rides with lots of bike crashing! Everyone hit the dust this time around except the adults. Every kid crashed, at least once or twice. Calvin took the worst fall of all and we thought he broke his nose for sure. We were doing the small river loop and went down he hill and he got passed around a corner by another biker. I think it scared him because he went off the road a little at a high speed and just hit the deck, hard. He caught the ground with his nose, chin and lip. I walked with him back to the road and we left our bikes and hitch hiked back to the house. A Sunriver worker came to the road right as we got there and he was happy to help poor Calvin. His nose bled forever, and that night, and the next day. But is better now.
Shelby was trying to help Calvin get his goggles that dropped and she did a face plant out of the hot tub. She got a huge fat lip and bruise on her face. She would barely eat food the next day because her teeth were sore and her lip was hamburger on the inside.
The last day we hit up the Sharc with our kids. The weather wasn't supposed to be great but everyone was leaving on Monday. The Scott's left early and we decided to stay and I'm super glad we did. The Sharc was totally slow and we had the place to ourselves. No line for the big tubes, lots of space in the sand box for Ronin, and Calvin got to swim on those log things and play on the floating structures. Usually there are lines and waiting times, but not this time.
