So this was a nice and hot weekend here in Eugene... We started it out on Friday night by attending the girls VBS performance out in Venita just west of Eugene. Girls did great, so I hear, Andrew was a little concerned about the 'real' Larry (VeggieTales) coming out on stage, so we hid back in the nursery during the performance.

Saturday was a warm afternoon spent at a fair in Springfield. The kids got to see fire trucks, get there face painted etc... everything that matters to the kids.

Today, Sunday was the employee/family day out at the new RiverBend hospital. We stood in line to tour the operating rooms first thing. We toured the cardiac OR that featured a mock operation, and heart bypass machine. In the Orthopedic OR, a Dr. was practicing using endoscopy. Notice the white light coming from the equipment (see video).

We are tired, and relaxing with the rest of our weekend. See ya,

Warm Weekend!
