THE CORCORAN CLAN: A River Runs Through It

We were very fortunate to spend the labor day weekend with my sister Sarah and her family. Her hubby Matt has a family cabin in Camp Sherman on the banks of the Metolius River - one of the most beautiful places on earth. I have spent many a college and post college weekend partying it up at this cabin with Matt's little sister and my best friend from UP Mary! I just love this place. Don and I would love to come to Camp Sherman every year and are actually thinking about renting a cabin here for one week each summer. I would love for my boys to grow up fly fishing on this river. Connor had a great time running around the woods with his cousins and even enjoyed his first trip to the "Rock Fort" - a Mattecheck childhood favorite spot. Connor did not however, like sleeping in the cabin. The first two nights involved a lot of crying, screaming, rocking, reading, binky tossing (Connor) and cocktail drinking (adults) to get the lovable monster to sleep. By the third night Don and Matt headed out to the campfire for "guy" time while Sarah and I were left to deal with the sleeping monster. Fortunetly, he went down without much complaint. I guess when they are tired enough...
Sarah and I were able to get away for a little sister time in none other than the town of Sisters! I love that town and I love eating lunch at Depot Deli! We shopped for a bit (Sarah purchased the most adorable sweater top) and I purchased a pumpkin (a little more fitting for my point in life). Other than the down pour we encountered, we had a great time! The only thing missing was our other half, our 3rd muskateer, our last pea in our sisterly pod - Jeannie. But we had a great time talking about her.... JUST Kidding Beans. Thanks Mattechecks for a perfect Labor Day weekend! To see more pics, click on the slideshow. Warning, there are many...
