Working Hard

We live a hard life. As you can see from previous posts we have been working really hard lately. Between all of our hikes and trips and hanging out there is hardly time for the pool and tennis and reading. It has just really gotten difficult to fit everything that needs to get done into one day. One such activity that has really begun to take up a large portion of our days would be...TENNIS. Oh how we love tennis (Please tell us some of you watched Wimbeldon? Fabulosity at its finest). A few days after arriving we drove ourselves to the local Target and bought some quality rackets. It has taken a few weeks of practice- but we can play a mean game of doubles. Don't we just look like naturals? We love Oregon and its abundance of parks and tennis courts.

Since arriving in Oregon we have really turned over some new leaves so to speak. Not only have we become tennis stars, but we are now quality berry pickers. Thats right. This is our new favorite pass time. Oregon is over run by huge berry farms. One of our new friends took Megan for the first time last week to pick blueberries...that was the start of a new love in our lives. Within a few days we have picked enough raspberries and blueberries to last a very long time. Boysenberries are ready for pickin' next week and blackberries in August! We LOVE our berries! By the end of the summer we will have enough jam and home made ice cream to serve a small country. They are delicious.
We had an awesome weekend full of more of the same...work work work. Rather than bore your with the details I will just post some photos. You know- A picture is worth a thousand words.
This was our extravaganza downtown...strictly work. Tyler, Parker, Tim, Anthony, and Simon.

Delicious pizza place called "Escape from New York"

Working hard at the pool.


We had a delicious Kabob BBQ at the pool.

We loved our kabobs!


We spent last night at a concert in the park by our house. And let me tell you it was a LOT of work to walk the entire mile there. Seriously. We are just really looking forward to a break when we can finally relax and do something fun. We will keep you posted on how it goes.
