Wheels around the hood

Benz Birthday Weekend Family Cooking (and eating) Challenge

What a fun getaway to celebrate Nana B and Big Poppi's 60ths in SunRiver, Oregon. Stef and Jordan conceived the "Top Chef"esque cooking challenge for which the honorees and their cohorts (the honorary Benzes.. the Prossers) were judges (and Jadyn got to sit at the judges table, too). We loved the real fall feeling weather being up in the mountains and all of the laughter (and bacon grease) being together with everyone. A rare treat.
deer: all over the place. It's amazing how they just come right up to us, unafraid.
The whole group.

Family bike ride will be a lifetime memory... so awesome to have dad back from the injured list. Biking was a piece of cake for a wounded ankle (fueled by bacon?)... rad mountian bike, Jbird.
little bowling break with the aunties and uncles at Lava Lanes.

pointing everyone out..
