Trip to Eugene
First - Mike and Jan now have a blog - Check it Out. Warning: May not be suitable for all viewers.
Well, since our kitchen is out of commission, we travelled down to Eugene for the weekend to hang with Auntie Jan and Uncle Mike (Jeep). We arrived just after 6pm last night and spent the evening drinking rum…at least Mike, Jan and I. Steph had vino. This morning, everyone except Nate, was up by 6:45am. Yes, even Jan was up!
Mike promptly removed the soft top from the Jeep so we could drive around and enjoy the sun. The trip was to the coffee shop and butcher. Zach loved being in the Jeep. Second trip was to ToysRUs for the following cool toys:
- A rocket…Yes, a real rocket with a large explosive in it. We have yet to fire it.
- A remote controlled jeep
- 3 styrofoam gliding planes
- An Elmo remote control
- A handprint keepsake (don’t ask)
We had lunch at Mcmennamins North Bank - lousy service and OK food but you get to sit along the river. After words we went to the park where Steph and Jan rode the teater totter, Zach ran around on the jungle gym, and Nate sat in the swing. Mike and I launched glider #1 - we are now expert pilots after flying the original glider in the 50mph winds of Lake Chelan. Back to the house and we played with the RC Jeep and then everyone had nappy time.

Steph stepped off the teeter totter and let Jan crash to the ground.
A quick kitchen update…base cabinets are in, canned lights are wired, and all other wiring is run.
Upper cabinets and tools being stored in our dining room.
Base cabinets.
They are making good progress - even a little ahead of schedule…so they should definitely make the scheduled completion date of August 7th.
