Once the Perez family arrived from Lexington, Kentucky, the party really got rolling. Rob, Diane and Sam stayed in Camille and Don’s guest bedroom and Sam and Max had a great time. The adults were treated to a duet featuring Sam’s new Barbie Karaoke machine. We went to the park and had a great time on the climbing walls, the spinners and various other climbing structures. The weather was great on the days that we went to the park.

Max was very excited to see the snow in Oregon, so we got directions to Mt.
Hood and piled in Camille’s mini van. We drove all the way to Government Camp
without seeing hardly any snow. We were very worried. But driving through Government
Camp, we saw exactly what we wanted: A hill dedicated to innertubing.

We rented a couple of tubes and took off. The day started off great, continued fantasticly,
and everybody was tired at the end of the day. The only downside: the snow was in
short supply (the dirt is starting to show on the runs) so snowmen and snowballs were
very difficult. Maybe next year.
