PICNIC!!

Today quite a few of the Writers Club members gathered together at Mary S. Young State Park in West Linn for a picnic.  We all brought food to share and no one went hungry! 
After dining we unveiled the games and play began. 
Twister was a riot!  It had all of us laughing! 
You can get into some very awkward positions...













My hand goes where?  On which color??








The photo below shows Chris and Greg getting cozy.


Which one is my leg?
Very flexible students!
Not the best side of Chris!! (photos below)

Kenton seems too comfortable.















Being a very inflexible old lady, I was an observer and photographer!!  It brought back memories of when I was young, out of high school, and playing this game with a number of friends!  Ahh, the good old days...
There were friendly discussions on many topics.   Kyle: "Wanna duke it out?"                              Chris: "Hey man, I'm a pacifist!"

Some of us played quite a few rousing games of HIT THE DECK, which is a fun card game but can lead to smashed hands when you have to hit the deck!  I must warn everyone that Kenton, the young man in front left with the moustache, is VERY competitive at this game!!!
Of course, there were the diehard Magic card game players.  They needed a table all to themselves to spread out all those colorful and strange cards.  During the school year you can often find several groups in the Clackamas Community College Community Center playing these games during the breaks between classes.
Some of the kids enjoyed the game UPWORDS...can be frustrating!
"Do not tell me how to spell!!!"   
The day was filled with laughter, fun and memories. 
We all had a great time!!

BROGAN CELEBRATES HIS 2ND BIRTHDAY

n Saturday, August 14th, we celebrated Brogan's second birthday.  His parents, Weston and Christina, had prepared for a hot day and had a little pool and a water play table for the children to enjoy.



Brogan likes the waterplay table.  I am sure he will have many more fun play times this summer!
He also had fun with the pool, but it was not big enough for Nana Rose.

 


 

Kids always have so much fun playing with water.  Brogan shared some time with another child at the party and I think they had fun!
Then it was time to open PRESENTS!!  Looks like Brogan struck the mother lode!


Grandma Sue gave Brogan a bubble blower that he played with for so long!

Brogan fed watermelon to both of his grandma's during the barbeque.


Brogan posed on his new ride.   Pretty soon he will be pedaling all around the place!             Then it was CAKE TIME!!!!
Brogan's cake was an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins!  YUMMY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR BROGAN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Here mom, have a bite.
MMMMM! This cake is pretty good!


YUMMY!
It was a fun celebration!
