Bonding in Bandon Part 2



Scott and Butch had the idea to each take their Heidi (Butch's wife is a Heidi too!) and go back to Bandon for a weekend. The driving force being that Bandon's new course, The Sheep Ranch, was now open. Heidi Parker was less than excited to go walk 18 holes two days in a row and I am always afraid it is going to be too windy for my liking. So I had the great idea of them planning a trip with us to Black Butte in the future where we could ride carts and have more predictable weather. The guys liked that idea but that didn't curb their desire to play Sheep Ranch. So they decided on taking the boys, Will and Adam, who were more than happy to join their dads. 


While the weather forecast at home looked nasty, and iffy at Bandon, they lucked out and never got rained on once and had the mildest winds they have ever had at Bandon. Besides the time Will lost his cart on the hill, dumping his golf bag and all it's content all over the hill, they had no complications and a wonderful time!





 Sticking to tradition, Scott packed the loser dress. Tradition is that whoever has the worst score of the round wears the dress all the way into the clubhouse on the 18th hole. Everyone but Butch had their chance to wear the dress.

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the

Blue and Gold

Our Blue and Gold Banquet theme this year was "Camping and Recycling".  I was in charge of the chocolate-dipped marshmallows for the centerpieces.  The gym looked great and everyone had a great time.  Of course, each cub scout brought in a theme-centered cake for the cake "contest" which supplied our dessert for the night.  Will decided to go with the camping theme and we made a giant Smore cake with the biggest home-made graham cracker known to man!  The boys spent some time at the recycling center at the back of the gym, making their unique creations from a bag of recycled items. Glad that is over!  Now just one more big cub scout pack meeting for the year....Pinewood Derby!!!!

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic
