I am pretty sure I just got the last day of my season in this weekend. Kate and I rode at Timberline and we had fun!
The snow was ace, we were above the clouds and it was all good :) Helen (Kate's sister) is over at the mo too, so she came up with Christa Barney (pooch) and Johnathon. They went for a jolly hike and we all met for a beer at the end.
I tried the half pipe on the way down but I was tired and could not even get up the vert. Rubbish, but here is proof I was trying!
The day before we went for day trip to the state capitol. It is called Salem and is full of old people. you know, pension day type thing.
Anyhow we left there pretty quick and headed to Woodburn outlets where the we all shopped. I bought some new trainers, how call are they :)
The girls got some bits too - belts and shorts and stuff. . . . So on we drove to Newburg. That is a little town 30 mins SW of Portland. It is the only drive in movie place in Portland. We were a bit early. . Well 4 hours early, due to Salem being utter poo. So we drove around looking for a pace to go fly the kite. We found a park and we found a bench to finish our lunch and what-not when I realised . . there was a frisbie golf course there! I had seen that on transworld sport about 5 years ago and thought it look fun, now was my chance to find out. So I ran across the road and bought my Pro Disc Golf Association certified frisbie ($18!!! buggers . . .) and the fun ensued!
The picture above was when we finished playing the 9 holes and were larking about. Anyhow. It was fab! More of that in a bit . . .
We trekked to the drive in and we were about 1.5 hours early. Which was fine as people were arriving and playing around.
We got some popcorn and some nice people lent us a chair. The owner, Brian, stopped by a couple of times and had a good few chats with us, he even gave us bumper stickers!
Kate and I are definitely going back. It was soooo much fun :)
So anyhow. Mother dearest sent some hard currency over to pay for a few drinks. Instead of liquidising the assets we invested it. I topped it up and we got some tennis raquets. Kate and Helen use to have lessons when they were younger, so I am being sorely educated! It is great fun but I do suck at tennis. . . . I don't have the pictures to hand at the moment, but I do have pictures of today's fun playing disc golf.
Helen a blaze of action fury . . .
Kate taking a more relaxed approach:
And moi, poised for my sponsorship deal :)
People do this professionally . . . can you imaging being paid for this . . . hoooowwwww coooool . . .
