June Adventures!

Whew!! June was a busy month! Be prepared for lots (and I mean tons) of pictures!! The first weekend of the month Jeff, along with our friends Jeremy and Lisa, participated in a triathlon out at Pine Hollow. Jeff came in 13th overall!! It was fun for Cooper and I to watch them all during the race. I had fun capturing the event on camera! Father's day weekend Jeff and his bicycling buddy, Troy, decided that it would be "fun" the ride from Portland to Seaside. Their bike ride was 110 miles total. Yikes! Cooper and I drove ahead of them to the beach and checked in to the hotel. Then we spent some time playing in the sand and visiting with friends that happened to be at the beach already. At the end of the day we met up with Jeff at the end of his ride. The next day, after a good night's rest, Jeff and Cooper got to play in the sand! At the end of the month we headed back to Pine Hollow with our friends Greg, Jenn and Tate. Cooper and Tate are such good buddies! They had a bunch of fun going on little boat rides with Jeff and Greg. It was a fun and relaxing weekend with friends!!
