June 26th weekend


This weekend we had only a few (but important) things to take care off, the rest was all unplanned.

First things first, Miranda's birthday.  She is now 17 years old!  I remember her mentioning that she never had a Boston Cream pie, so instead of a traditional sugar and dough cake we got a pie to share.  I think everyone really enjoyed it!

Second important thing was to get Gabe's rental baritone horn returned to the music store and to decide if we would actually buy a Euphonium for him to use in Middle and High School band.  We decided it was better money spent on buying it, rather than continuing renting it.
On Saturday we loaded in the entire family (and the instrument too) and headed to Vancouver Washington.  We hardly ever go that way, so it was almost a big deal...
We had so much fun looking at everything.  The store is huge and if you need something, you are sure to find it there!  With all the excitement, I didn't even take any pictures!

Since we were already in Washington, I got some Sudafed, I can breathe now! (Stinking Oregon laws!)

On Sunday we realized that a strawberry season is already here and we better not miss it, it isn't very long.
Hot day, dusty roads, running through a tall grass, that's when Larissa's allergies kicked in, times ten.  Poor kid had to take Benadryl, her arms got covered with red spots, and she couldn't open her eyes till the medicine kicked in. 
Monday through Thursday Gabe attended a Lacrosse camp.  It might have been a little more than kids bargained for.  Four hours of training and playing each day...  that's some Summer vacation
