Who would have thought it when we started this blog that we’d be here…Emma graduating from Raleigh Park? Well, we actually all did but it still seems a bit unbelievable once you get there. So Emma wrapped up her years at RP with a few tears and a lot of hugs from friends and teachers. With all that she is ready for middle school. Plus Grace has five more years and Claire two so there will surely be some RP hall wandering for some time. Speaking of Grace and Claire, big number nine for Claire and Grace enjoyed another Easter brunch at the golf club.

After graduation we decided to get right out of town and headed off to Black Butte. We can hardly think of a better location. Dry air, quiet area, multiple swimming pools and tennis courts, animals roaming, Sisters Oregon to visit, new friends, and a short drive. Check out another great pic from the new Lodge Pool.
