Bear in the dumpster

And now to confirm the rumor about the bear in the dumpster... "Boo Boo" was discovered by Reed and Kathy after they had taken Pam to the the Embassy to catch the shuttle. The black bear was enjoying breakfast in the dumspter behind the Forest Suites, which was about 15 yards from where the Fishers parked their car. Reed took plenty of pictures and three different videos of the bear. For some reason the blog is refusing to upload the pictures from their camera. If anyone would like to see one of the pictures of the sighting you can contact us via email and I am real sure Uncle Reed would LOVE to send you a picture or two, or three, or....

Uncle Reed gets into the act!

Uncle Reed secretly wants to be a member of the opera that sang for our supper! Any excuse to get dressed up in a costume and to be the center of attention! Hey, maybe he can join the rest of us when we perform our up and coming musical in the neighborhood mall!! (Was that discussed at our buisiness meeting?)

Tippets Breakfast in Tahoe

The traditional Tippets breakfast in the park! No pink pancakes this time, but no one was disappointed because we were served Aunt Roxy's famous sourdough pancakes complete with berry syrup, whipped cream and fresh fruit; fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy hashbrowns and cheese filled sausage! Yum! The food was hot, the juice was cold and the weather could not have been better! Perfect setting for a great reunion!

Lin, the Hero

For those of you not at the reunion, let me share an amazing story. The weekend of the reunion just happened to be Opening Day at Lake Tahoe and some crazy person thought it would be a great idea to shut down the main road for entertainment and redirect traffic one way on a back road. This was the stupidest idea ever and caused huge gridlock and many angry people. We (Matt, Annie, Spencer and Uncle Tom were in one car and Mark, Me, Aurora and Aunt Lin were behind in another car) were stuck in a parking lot trying to get to the main road for about 45 minutes. After about 20 minutes of waiting, Aunt Lin decided to get out to talk to the security guard to see what was going on. The line started to move a little, but after 25 minutes she still hadn't come back. Mark and I thought she was talking to the other car, but when we got to the front of the line, we saw a sight I never imagined.

You can only sort of tell from this picture, but my mom was in the middle of the street directing traffic! You know my mom. and this is something I never dreamed she would do. She nicely asked the cars going straight if they would let just one car through. And it worked! She helped a woman who was late for work and a bride get to her wedding! And we got to the boat dock just in time for me to waddle/run down the pier before taking off. Although if I had known the Westwood/Allens were so close, I would have waddled a little slower. Sorry guys! But hooray Mom! You saved the day!
