Yesterday we spent the day at two picnics. The first at Silver Falls State Park with family and friends from England and the second at Matt's company picnic.

The first picnic was so nice. The kids played in the cool water and the grown kids went for a short hike to see the South Fall. Our friends from England are actually my step granddad's foreign exchange student from when his kids were younger. I went to OSU with thier daughter and visited them for several days after graduated. So it was a grand reunion.

The Second Picnic was just as terrific. Matt's company picnic is always more like a fair then a picnic. The kids enjoyed horse rides (multiple), ice cream, bouncy houses, cotten candy, kettle korn, korn on the cob, movies, sand castle building, and wonderful food. Not to mention many new friends. There was even fireworks, but we didn't stay for those because the kids were worn out.
