Dinner at the Franssens and the High Desert Museum

While we were in Sunriver, our good friends The Franssens invited us over for dinner.  They have an amazing, gorgeous vacation home in Bend.  Brenda made a super delicious meal (she is like the best cook ever)  followed by her homemade key lime pie . . . YUM!

What a fun evening, it was so nice of them to have us over.



Pancho and Kurt




The kids and adults eating together . . .




. . . then playing together
The Dads and kids went out on the golf course, that their house is located on, and played a game of football!
The Mom's hung out inside and watched "The Real Housewives of New York" . . . love that show!



Connor and Max
good buds and in the same 4th grade class this year!





Next up, The High Desert Museum!
While Mom and I went shopping, Papa and Daddy took the kids to the Museum.
It sure has come a long way since my Dad used to drag us there when we were little kids.  Back then there were about 2 small exhibits and a  stuffed owl to look at . . .
 . . . the kids had so much fun looking at all of the cool things there, so much  to see and do, they didn't even get to it all!  We want to go back!


Sam, Max and Lucy



The kids thought this stuffed cougar was very cool!



They got to do some old time gambling with a real old cowboy.
Sam was the big winner!


Max was reading all about the Indians that lived in Central Oregon.


One of these is not a Fulton . . .


Papa and the kids . . . they sure love their Papa!


It was such a fun day to be at the museum because they had live people at many of the exhibits that looked and talked like they were really from the old west.  They taught the kids important facts and even played old gambling games with them!
