Adam with his birthday cake.

Adam finally got his ipod touch 5 for his 13th birthday, he saved up half and we paid half.  Summer and I tried to recognize the moment on the cake by making a fondant ipod.  Not a great success.

Ziplining in Oregon

Adam's birthday gift request was ziplining with the family. 

 We went to High Life Adventures in Warrenton near Astoria.  There we took a zip line tour.  Eight different ziplines varying in height and length in a pristine part of Oregon's beautiful forest land.

 Hard to know what to do with the camera, do you take it and risk dropping it, or leave it and risk missing the awesome photo ops that may come up.

At the end of one of the ziplines there was a sasquatch hiding behind a tree.  It was kind enough to hang around long enough for a photo shoot.

 It was a brilliant day, I would love to do it again.

Okay after quite a lot of effort I think I have figured it out.  The videos were too big to post anywhere but you tube.  So I have made a you tube account.  So click on the links here, to see the latest videos.

Summer and I are off to Newport this weekend, sharing a king size bed, playing on the beach and having a bonfire on Saturday night before competition starts early Sunday morning.  The boys can't come as Matt is snowboarding, Tom has a soccer game and Adam and Tom have a date to watch the superbowl together.
