Pronghorn 2012

We were fortunate to have joined Ellen and Frank on one of their annual trips to Bend, Oregon.  Pronghorn is a great spot for families - endless golf, swimming, biking, trips to the playground, hiking and any outdoor activity one could imagine!  I took too many pictures to post, but here are some select shots - sorry they're out of order!

Where we spent most our days-  the pool!

Summer fun!

We have been having such a great summer, that I've not had time to update the blog!  Here are some fun snippets of our adventures over the last month:

Dinner party with the Kerns Family

 Kiddos and the Mamas

Day at the San Mateo County Fair

Amelia loving the FUN HOUSE

Learning that she's a roller coaster girl through and through!

 Audrey watching the pig races....

 Snow Cones!

 Date night!

Menlo Friday Nights

Menlo has fun Friday night BBQ dinners that work so smoothly into our evening after swimming all day!  They often have a bounce house for the kiddos, and Audrey took right to it.  There was one point that she was the only girl (at 18mos!) with a bounce house full of 6 year old boys.  She was holding her own!

Amelia has made several new friends from swim team - her friend Sophia comes down from the city to practice on Fridays and Saturdays.  She loves spending time with her.

Date Night

Brad and I enjoyed a quick "night" away at the Ritz Half Moon Bay a few weekends ago.  Ellie and Papa and Uncle Scott and Aunt Kelly tag-teamed the kid watching, so we were a lucky couple to catch up child-free.

It just so happens that there was a wine tasting seminar at the resort during our stay, so of course we had to take advantage.  We also took advantage of the free food and drinks on the club level, the available cruisers for a 12 mile bike ride up the coast, the incredible views and the ability to sleep in!

This little lady is quite the swimmer!
