Haystack Rock

Our good friends Gordon and Patty invited us to Cannon Beach, Oregon for Friday, the last day of their week-long conference.  On top of that, Gordon picked us up in their plane and personally flew us down!!!  What a treat!  There were several other friends attending the conference so we enjoyed great fellowship.  We also heard a wonderful talk from an Old Testament scholar, ate well (we always seem to eat well), played games, spent some time on the beach, etc., etc., etc.  God willing, we intend to make Cannon Beach a new tradition to start with the boys.

With Gordon & Patty

On Saturday, we got back in the plane (Cessna Skylane 182 Turbo) and flew to Sunriver, Oregon for the weekend.  We stayed at their condo in the beautiful resort.  Highlights included lots of bicycle riding, swimming, sunning, playing cards, and generally enjoying spending special time with Gordon & Patty.  On Sunday, when we had experienced all the sun we could fit in, Gordon flew us home to Puyallup.  On all flights, we got great views of the Cascade Mountains.  Sary-Jo, though a bit queasy, did quite well traveling in the small plane and Gordon provided us with excellent flights.

Thank you, Gordon and Patty, for your amazing hospitality and generosity.  We had such a memorable weekend!
