This group has been visiting sunriver for about 5 years now . . . we are all from the Tri-Cities and know each other through a common interest of paddling outrigger canoes . . . we are O’Hana . . . family. We are a varied group . . . ranging in age from mid 30’s to 60. . . some married, some single . . . some with families nearby, some without . . . but we all share one common thread that seems to go beyond all else . . . a love for the outdoors and for each other . . . We stayed in McNary #24 this year, Jan 28-31 and it was an amazing home. . . .life has many ups and downs, but through it all we are O’Hana. This was a particularly important year for me. It has been a difficult year for one relationship in the group . . . between myself and another .. . I was uncertain how the weekend would go . . . but hoped for the best . . .hoped that in the end, underneath the difficulties, we were still O’hana and that would, in the end, be the important element. I planned the weekend, as I always did, sending the emails, who’s in and who’s not . . . she’s in . . . that’s a good sign . . . I held my breath and hoped for the best . . . as we all arrived, I could feel the distance . . .unsettling at best . . . keep an open heart . . . let the weekend flow . . . we skied, cooked together, did a jigsaw puzzle, shopped, and as the weekend unfolded, we laughed together again . . . just like before . . . surrounded by O’hana in this beautiful surrounding, I saw a flicker of who we were . . . no miraculous reunion, life is rarely that simple, but a start maybe . . . a most treasured opportunity.

The late September dates supplied wonderful weather for our activities of hiking at Paulina Peak and Benham Falls, playing Frisbee golf and tennis, bike riding and walking around Sunriver.  Renting a beautiful house, allowed the seven of us to comfortably enjoy card playing, football watching, barbequing, hot tubbing and visiting.

A great time was had by all.  Go Cougs!

- “Welcome to Sunriver Fun Pet Package” full of treats & chewy toys.

We visited Sunriver June 2009 for a family get-away. What a great time we had. The house we stayed in was fantastic. We visited many of the local attractions including, High Desert Museum, Lava Lands, The Lava Cast Forest, Tumalo Falls, and the Fun Center in Bend for a game of putt-putt golf. We brought our little fishing boat and tried our luck fishing on Wickiup Reservoir. My son and his wife went on an hour horse ride and had a lot of fun. We ate good, slept good and had fun every day.

Our “Girl’s Get-away” started back in the 80’s, but we have settled on Sunriver since 2000, and now the same house, same dates each year.  It’s me, my 4 daughters and one daughter-in-law, and of course our bear mascot, Bubba.  It’s the sunshine on the deck, the deer, chats by the fireplace, the hot tub, the champagne, the games for prizes, dancing bears, and home-made cinnamon rolls.  It’s the long walks, Century Drive, shopping, Bubba’s UofO shirts, the carriage ride, the Spa treatments and movies.  It’s all about family and relaxing.  We have a scrapbook full of wonderful memories and plan to continue for many more years in Sunriver.
