Orinda, Provo & Portland packed into one week

Everyday Heroes Golf champions 2013 - #1 winning team: John, Charlie, Doug & Ralph

Honoring Everyday Heroes. Sue & Richard with firefighters.
Great week started out with the Everyday Heroes golf fundraiser at OCC benefiting OCF. A trip to Provo was sandwiched in the middle to meet up with Blalock family, then off to Portland for Lindsay & Sean special day.
Ralph (7th place in age category), Sue (21st), Gay (2nd), Chaney & Autumn ran 1st Temple to Temple 5K. We started at the Provo temple and finished at the new Provo tabernacle temple site. There is a little story behind Gay's 2nd place as there was mix up with bib/timing chips, so Gay and Autumn exchanged. It's Gay's bib & Autumn's time. We were pleased to finish well ahead of the pack.

It was a wonderful rare week long getaway for all family members down to new baby Asher. The reunion began in the airport early morning as all Bay Area kin were joined by Seattle group. Portland crew left two days early to experience Harry Potter World. All good except for some rain to dampen spirits a bit.
All gathered in one spot minor miracle accomplished.
