Hey there family~ It's been a long while so I thought I would write a little post about our summer fun. We kicked off our summer with a 2 week vacation with James. We first went to Otter Crest-on the Oregon Coast- and enjoyed 3 nights of card games, junk food, and movies. The beach was beautiful! Then we came back and celebrated James' birthday on a Willamette River Jet Boat cruise. It was rainy but exciting. On his birthday and Father's Day, we drove to the Sullivan Hotel where we enjoyed 3 nights in a luxurious condo. We took Mom and Dad out to lunch, played on the slip and slide, and ran 6 miles with Sara. The weather was perfect and as always, being at home was relaxing. James is back to work now and this weekend we go back to the Sullivan Hotel for the 4th of July to run the Butte to Butte with Ann and Sara. Then we have the Sullivan Reunion in Boise. The kids are excited but James is staying home. Football and volleyball start in August along with Hood to Coast and the annual K-9 campout. It's a busy summer but we love not having school. The kids sleep in late and go to bed late. James and I got bikes a few months ago and a bike trailor too. We love family bike rides around town. Today I have my 2 nieces, so with 8 kids, we are off to see the free movie. Wish us luck! We miss all of you and look forward to seeing you all this summer! Cheers, Rebecca
