Ashley Paterson's Graduation and Family Reunion - June7-9, 2013

Family from out of town...Bertha Drury, Joan and Dani Terhaar,  Sally, Tim and Becky Seubert, Tony Ackerman and Leslie Morgan, Bob, Kathy, Kristen and Gabe Ackerman.

The Idaho crew arrived on Thursday night and took up residence in 3 campers that Kathy had borrowed from friends and setup in the backyard.  On Friday Tony and Leslie arrived from Portland.  We had planned to visit Northwest Track but the guest of honor (i.e. Ashley) had last day school commitments.  So we hung around, ate, visited and viewed some photo albums.  Master Chef Marty cooked up a schrimp bowl with sausage and potatoes that was delicious.

After the sun went down on Friday night, Marty started up his bonfire in the back yard.  To begin with, it was just old folks but then Ashley arrived with several carloads of her friends.  They cranked up the music (??) and some of started to dance...basically, it was kicked up by Leslie and the rest of joined in.  It was a lot of fun although the music is hard to dance to.

Saturday morning there was shopping at garage sales and the State surplus store.  A few things were found which will probably end up in another garage sale in a few years.  In the afternoon, Marty fired up the BBQ and started turning out some great burgers, chicken, brats and trout.  There was lots of food and everyone jumped in.  Marty's parents Paul and Joyce, his brothers Perry and ?? were there as well along with lots of others that I didn't retain their names.  After some digestion and the crowd thinned out most everyone went to see the movie "Now you see it" and everyone enjoyed it.

Sunday morning we got together to say our good-byes and everyone headed out.

Pioneer Century - Canby, OR

Rode the Pioneer Century 55 mile route with Leslie, Teri and Bruce (who had done 45 mile loop earlier).  Weather was beautiful and had Bruce's Birthday Beers at the Caufield House in Oregon City afterwards.
