Thirsty Thursday, Portland Spirit & Flugtag!

Welcome to another installment of the Rick & Lauren show :) It's been another busy week!
Rick's friend and Best Man, Jeff, is in town from Japan and has been staying with us. He is off to basketball camp this week, but we tried to show him a good time last week.
Thursday we went to the Beavers game/Thirsty Thursday.
Rick and I afterward at the Marathon

It was like a mini college reunion for Rick. We ran into tons of peeps from his school.
Steve, Christina and Allison-friends of Rick's from college, and Jeff Brubaker (one of my faves of Rick's friends!)

Our little Rocco Taco has been obsessed with the sink and running water lately...

Last Friday after work Brianne and I boarded the Portland Spirit for their afternoon Escape Cruise because our friends The Dimes were playing on board. It was hideous weather for August 1st, but at least it didn't rain on us.

The insane house and dock we saw on the Willamette

Gloomy skies over downtown

Brianne and I "under the bridge downtown" (name that song)

Saturday was Flugtag, the big event of the summer. Red Bull puts it on, and basically people make "flying machines" and push them off a 25 ft ledge and see who's will "fly" the furthest.
It was SO much fun, and even though it was a little cloudy, it wasn't hot so it was nice.
This is what a crowd of 60,000 people looks like. The entire Hawthorne bridge was packed side to side and the whole East Bank was solid with people too!

Team Leggo, our favorite, sending their contraption off the edge. They're even dressed like Leggo men!

Rick and I

Saturday night was my Bachelorette party. I'm still working on those pictures. Only 2 1/2 weeks left til the big day! It's freaking me out, but I'm confident everything will get done before then!
Hope you are all well!
