Hot summer weekend, July 24th

What a great weekend!

This Saturday Intel Corporation threw a big Family BBQ for their employees at the PGE Park.  Everything was free, the food, the entertainment, the prizes.
We got there just after the start time to make sure it wasn't too packed yet, and that was a pretty good decision.  On the way in everyone was handed a bag for collecting their "goodies", which is always nice.  Beats carrying a bunch of junk in your hands.
There was a request to bring some gently used children books for a donation.  We were more than happy to get a few out of the boys' room.  The only thing was asked of us is to sit down and wipe them clean before they could be accepted.

Gabe got to try a potato-sack race and got to the finish line way before anyone else.
We got to spin the prize wheel at the Disney Radio table and won a t-shirt, some stickers and posters, and a few tickets to the upcoming Air Show in Hillsboro.

After lunch we sat in the shade and cooled off with a lemonade (and a cotton candy).  Even while sitting away from all the fun we couldn't help but "score" more free stuff.  We were handed a couple of free Intel shirts.

By the time we left, our "goody" bag was pretty full and everyone was exhausted!

Sunday was our recovery day.  We didn't go anywhere, other than a Sunday Market and a couple of stores, but instead caught up on to-do list at home.
