Gary's sister Pat, her husband Gary and their three girls came for a week long visit as they do every year at this time. It is great to have them here although the girls are tough to keep up with. They have high energy levels and love to do anything and everything they can during their short time up here. We love it though as they are a great deal of fun. Unfortunately during this visit, the Mendocino Music Festival ran longer than normal so their uncle Gary wasn't able to spend as much time with them as he wanted. We did all rent a big canoe and spend close to three hours going up (and coming back down too) the Big River just outside of Mendocino, which seemed to be a big hit with the kids (and uncle Gary too!). They have done some family trips on their own. They went horseback riding on Thursday and took the Skunk Train yesterday. Today maybe we can fit a trip over to Glass Beach in between our packing up duties.
Yes, it is that time of year again when we say goodbye to Mendocino. Our leaving is being accelerated a bit due to a major repair to our refrigerator that has to be done on Monday morning. If we did not make it then, we would have had to wait for another week so we are making a real quick packing job...in between spending time with the family and working the Music festival. Ain't life grand?

It's good to see pictures of Pat and Gary along with those adorable nieces of yours. And, even with the music festival going on, it still looks like it was an enjoyable weekend!
We look forward to having you join us at Camp Cascadia real soon. I think Ken thought you'd be up by Friday . . . yahoo!
Whoops . . . I mean "it still looks like it was an enjoyable WEEK!"
