Quick trip to Bend to see Old Dominion

 

Old Dominion is one of my favorite bands, so when I heard they were playing in Bend, OR we had to get tickets.  It was a good excuse to take a weekend trip and also see some family.
The concert was at the Hayden Homes amphitheater,  it was such a cool venue!  It was a beautiful evening and the venue was right on the river.  We stayed at the hotel right next to it which was so convenient.  It was great to walk to and from the show and not have to worry about parking.
It was an amazing concert.  They always put on such a great show.

The next day we hiked to Tumalo falls.  The falls were gorgeous.  We also did a little walk along the river, Kona loved it!
We ended the day with refreshing beverages and lunch at the Bend Brewing Co. and then listened to some music in the park with Lance's brother Aaron.
There are so many walking paths, beautiful flowers and fun scenery along the river.  It was nice to walk in the morning while the kids slept in.
The following day we floated the Deschutes river.  It was a blast!  Our favorite part were the little rapids.  Afterwards we stopped for a cold beverage at Silver Moon Brewing.  
Later that evening we went to Julie's for some tacos and margaritas.  On our way out of town we stopped by Americana (the food truck where Jack works) for a delicious smash burger before heading home.

Happy 17 years to us!


We celebrated our 17 year anniversary with a day trip to Roche Harbor.
We are very lucky to have our own private pilot 😜(Peter) who flew us over for the day.  It was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for flying!
When we arrived we sat outside and had a delicious lunch at the Lime Kiln Cafe (fish and chips and chowder).

After lunch we wandered around the street market, walked the marina, checked out the sculpture park, did a little wine tasting and then had an amazing dinner at the Madrona Bar and Grill.
Its such a beautiful resort!  It was a wonderful way to celebrate 17 years together! 🩷

Sweet Summertime

 

Last team photo for Carson's 13u team.  It was a really fun year!  Unfortunately only half of them are returning next year.  (Some aged up due to starting high school and a couple changed teams).
We spent 4th of July at the annual Berg party on Lake Tapps, then came back to the neighborhood to hang with the crew for the evening.  Fun times as always!
We spent a day on Lake Washington at Shreya's family home (cousin Mathew's girlfriend).  They took us on a sunset boat ride, it was so beautiful!
Lots of boat time was had this summer!
Did lots of fishing, tubing and rope swinging.
The kids had a blast taking out lots of different friends this summer.
We went to see the Weeknd at Lumen field.  He put on a great show!
Kennedy and Kona helped celebrate Harley's birthday. 🎂

Carson and Lance did some salmon fishing on the Puyallup river. 
We went to the annual Sequim Craig BBQ.  Its always fun to hang out with the cousins and see how much the kids have grown!
Lance and I went to see Morgan Wallen at Lumen field.  It was so much fun!
Kona has a new bestie!  Our neighbors got a new puppy- James, and Kona was immediately in love! They are so sweet together. 🩷
