SUNRIVER - STANLEY FAMILY STYLE

Well, we arrived in Sunriver over the Pacific Crest Sports Festival Weekend (as if that is not a mouthful). A lot of the family participated in events and others were great cheerleaders(myself included). It was a great week of hiking, biking, rafting, and sunning by the pool.
Jason competed in the olympic triathalon in 96 degree heat.



Splash-Pedal-Dash!! What a great looking crew of athletes!
Go Cayden and Preston! You both did Super!
It's all about the medal

Maddox and his cousin Danika have their own splash. Next year you two will be competing as well... Here we hiked through the Lava Lands as a family and made it to a great view point. Then we were off to the Lava Caves for another long hike, only this one was freezing cold.



The next day we had to cool off, and let me tell you that water was COLD. We rafted down the Deschutes river through a series of 5 class 3 rapids. It was fast and fun. Preston had other feelings about the trip. He said "If we go there again, I do not want to go there!!" A wall of water coming over the front of the boat in rapid succession was just a little too much for him...

Lost Camera!

It's been a while since we posted because our camera was lost after memorial weekend!! We had a great trip to Mt. Hood and Jason competed in the Onion Man Triathalon. He improved his time by 20 minutes over last year. We took the family on an old fashioned steam train ride in Hood River and hit the Zoo in Portland on the way home. A lot of my pictures are gone so I highly suggest backing up your photos on a regular basis. We have finally gotten a new camera and are on our way to Sunriver for a great Stanley Family Reunion with all the brothers and Grandma and Grandpa. Lots of pictures to follow as the days progress.
