Happy Birthday Aaron!

It was Aaron's golden birthday on Friday. He wanted to go to the Art and Air festival in Albany to see the Night Glow. We only caught the last 5 minutes or so, but it was pretty cool. I got a few nice pictures of it. It was actually pretty dark, the light sky is deceptive since I used a 15 second shutter speed. It was beautiful off the water. I didn't have much time to play with camera settings since we got there so late.



On Saturday he wanted to go rafting with friends, so we drove to the North Santiam. This picture is actually from the last time we went rafting with them. I didn't want to take my camera this time. Unfortunately Aaron's face didn't make it into the picture, but you all know what he looks like anyway.
The stretch we were planning on doing would have taken 5 hours. Oops, we didn't really realize this until we were on the water. We ended up having to basically force these guys to give us a ride to our car. It was a bit uncomfortable, but better than being on the river fighting the wind for another 3 hours.


I dug up all my potatoes, a bit early, but I wanted to get my winter crops in. They are so good and I'm getting creative with cooking them every night!


This week we are on a mission to do a complete overhaul on our house. We are purging, cleaning, organizing and sorting. Wish us luck, it's a big project!
