Red Head Event

Joe and Tim helped set the (unofficial until verified) world record for most red heads gathered in one spot last Saturday.  For those who missed it in the Oregonian, they ran a story about it.  The boys enjoyed being part of a world record, but the heat and sun almost did them in.  We were able to find a ice cream parlor close to Pioneer Square, so it wasn't all bad.

Waldo Lake


 We went camping at Waldo Lake for three nights last week and of course did quite a bit of kayaking.  Our first trip out we paddled out to one of the small islands.  We had it all to ourselves (maybe 1,500 sq/ft) for lunch, some reading, a couple games of cribbage and no leash for Batsy. 

The water is incredibly clear and sometimes we'd paddle and then float for a while looking down at the bottom.  The slide show below has more pictures of us out on the water.

When we weren't paddling we did a lot of reading (the boys and Holly), some writing (Steve), sleeping (Batsy), and playing games (everyone).
