Fun on a skid steer!

We picked up the heavy equipment for a weekend of work!

Robert played on the skid steer while I used a shovel and wheelbarrow!

We embarked on the Bend Ale Trail a few weeks ago and finally finished it today! It was a grueling trek, but worth every sip!

We picked up the atlas at one of the brew pubs.

14 stamps from 14 of the 26 (so far) breweries. Now we can claim our prize!

We headed up to the mountains outside Sisters to celebrate the longest day(light) of the year! It was a little overcast at Three Creeks Lake, and the snow was still in evidence as were mosquitoes, but we had fun!

The water was cold but Mavrik doesn’t care!

The dock and rental boats are ready for visitors at the Three Creeks Store, which is for sale by the way!

Another great restaurant/bar in Bend!

A signature burger at JC’s, branded on the bun!

The interior of the burger, dripping with cheese!

We returned to Drake, a newer restaurant in downtown Bend for their Monday special; Steak & Frites. They have an eclectic menu and everything has been delicious!

The roasted bone marrow appetizer when spread onto the crusty bread was fabulous!
