State Fair v. Annual Family Campout?

For family home evening we were talking about some of the fun things we have done this summer as a family and also discussed some of the things we might do before the summer is over.  Charlotte is very interested in going to the Oregon State Fair, even to the point that she was willing to give up Labor Day Weekend at the coast.  Hmm, an interesting proposition.

Memorial Day Weekend

The sun was out.  We must take group photo!

The Chris & Tricia Bevans Clan at the remnants of Dinosaur Mountain

Yeah, I'm cool, and I know it!

Ben does a great Kilroy impersonation

The Camera Man

We're Bad! 

Charlottes School Play

Last night we attended Charlotte's 3rd grade end of the year performance. The play was performed first in English then in Japanese. Charlotte was the princess (of Course) and did a wonderful job with her acting.

To Camp or Not To Camp, That is The Question

Well, Memorial Day Weekend will be shortly upon us.  It seems that the ever-present question is: Do we camp with the rest of the Bevans clan at Honeyman Park?  The problem with Memorial Day is, one word, Rain!

I hate camping in the rain!  Tricia hates camping in the rain.  The kids do not care.  Should we just suck it up and go?  I need help with this one.

Saturday @ Cabela's!!!

Mom was off teaching a coupon class at the Church, so Dad decided to take kids to the new Cabela's in Springfield, Or. The store was packed with people. If you ask Charlotte she can name off all the animals (stuffed) that we saw.

The kids and I had a great time. The animal exhibits were cool. Apparently I didn't get a picture of the Grizzly and Black bear fighting over the sheep. Looks like we'll have to make it a regular Dad kid event!
