Kung Fu Fighting

Daddy and Piper match wits and kung fu stances while frolicking in the bubbles. Actually, they were really battling the bubbles, but this picture cracks me up. Piper looks like she is ready to attack while frank is in mid air kicking the bubbles. What fun on a Sunday morning in the backyard.

Brew Fest 2006

Well, another year, another Brew Fest. Frank and I went on separte days so I hooked up with my friend Jen and a fellow dragon boater Connie to suck down some suds. This was the first time I did an evening run at the fest. Usually going durning the day when the crowds aren't so big, lines are not so long and the taps are flowing heavy with every beer. This year due to scheduling, i had to go Saturday night and the lines were huge, almost all the beers were gone and it was so crowded you lost half your beer trying to get out of the crowd.
Oh well, it was still fun. I will never miss a beer fest.

oregon country fair

Piper had so much fun at the OCF this year. She got to sport a fancy new dress that was perfect for the hot day and danced and danced. We got to see Julia and spend a little time before she moves to Taos in a few weeks. More festivals to come. NW Reggae Fest, NW String Summit and many more i am sure. This kid is going to be a festival flyer!

Piper loves the camera and here she gives us a sporty new pose as she shows off the latest in Summer attire. complete with hat, braclets and necklaces, this flashy young lady is the belle of the ball.

Oregon Zoo

Piper enjoyed going to the zoo for the first time last week (7/19/06). She really loved to watch the monkeys, storks and fish. We decided to get a year pass so we can go back and see the butterfly exhibit.

Alicia and Piper

Alicia came to visit and we had a great time. Piper enjoyed meeting Mama's friend and here they share a little cantelope and smiles

ice ice baby

My name is Piper.
I love Ice. Give me ice morning, noon and night.
I also love frozen peas and corn out of the bag.
Here I am enjoying a spot of shaved ice at the Oregon Country Fair waiting for Steve Kimock to come out on stage and sing to me.

missin the sistah

so long ago in a world far far away, two friends became strangers.
suddenly in a blink of an eye and a dash of beautiful flowers, the strangers became friends once again.
reunited, they got dusty and stinky at the NW REGGAE Fest.
what fun and joy.
