Wednesday 22~~~~~ Today is Lisa's birthday!!! Happy Birthday Lisa!!! Today Tress brought Bodie up to the park to spend a few days with us. One of the host couples has their grandson staying here this week, he and Bodie really had fun last year playing together at the park, so we planned for them to be here at the same time this year. Bodie is a real good little helper for me cleaning sites, he likes to scoop out the fire pits while I do the raking. He found a large snail in the wood pile on a piece of wood (picture) We gathered some rocks for rock painting, we had a couple of other kids join our painting class and we had fun painting pictures on rocks today. (pictures) Thursday 23~~~~Today Bodie went swimming with his friend Will at the new water Aquarium at the Air Museum at McMinnville where Howard Hughes plane the "Spruce Goose" is on display. They spent the whole day there and really had fun. The Santiam River runs along the park and Bodie had a lot of fun playing in the water, moving rocks and gathering snails and catching tiny fish in the water with a small net we bought in town. The park had a potluck for all the hosts tonight and we had so much good food. I took Aunt Bunnies carrot cake that everyone in the park likes so much.
