Wrapping up Bend

The rest of the week-long reunion was filled with casual gatherings, such as micro-brew hopping in downtown Bend, spending afternoons at "happy hour" with the family (as if there wasn't enough booze already!), and admiring the views of the river. 

Darlene and Francisco joined us for a tour of the Goodies chocolate factory

I couldn't get over the view of the sunrise from the bedroom window

Cute woodsy homes along the morning jogs

Mergansers on the Deschutes River

Half the fun of these reunions is "Happy Hour," the time when everyone regathers to visit and plan for the next day

The Kubb tournament winners!  Somehow the Swedish couple on the left won every single one of our competitive events: the golf tournament, poker night, Kubb, and, though never having swung a bat before, even the batting cage!   I think something is up...

Mom relaxing on the balcony.  I got to try out that hot tub behind her on one of the chillier nights (it got down to 40 degrees a couple times!).

On our last evening the cousins went to a typical Oregon hangout joint: a park-brewery-food truck-live band venue place full of hippies and hipsters. 
My cousins :o)

Like father like son ;o)
