The Oregon Part, Part II (July)

July 1st everyone came over for a little BBQ and cake for Maranda's birthday, as well as to celebrate Canada Day.


I had everyone sign my Canada Day banner, of course. This was its 11th year, so it might be time to make a new one.


There was much baby-hogging of Alexis' new little girl.


 As always, the sand box saw a lot of action.


And until she actually played in one, I had been thinking about building a sand box for Edie.




Ben made Uncle Jon hang a paper bag in the tree as a pinata. I believe it was filled with paper cups.




One night we all went down to the park and played on the swings.



Andy and Ben took turns swinging with Uncle Fletcher, who would swing at crazy angles that I thought would give me a heart attack. When Dad showed up at the park Andy pointed to Fletcher and said something along the lines of "You've got to try this guy!" like Fletcher was a ride.



A sibling picture because I think everyone was going their separate ways starting that day or the next. 


Edie playing Legos with cousins.


And we all went bowling. I thought we had a good time, but either I'm remembering wrong or Jon and Fletcher are pulling an American Gothic.

Phew, that's the end. Now I can post pictures from my upcoming trips with a clear conscience.
