Portland

At the end of August while Lynnett was staying with us we went over to see Brandon and Emily at their new place in the Camas/Portland area and spent a few days. It was really cool and we had a great time. Even Grandma Anna Lee and Micci came down from Seattle to see us...Something about me being their favorite or something like that, but it was great to see them and spend time with the Rehrers, we have missed them. Thanks guys for taking such good care of us.



All the neighborhood kids made themselves right at home during our family BBQ. They freaked out a little bit when we all dropped to our knees and started chanting when we offered a blessing on the food..No not really. Nobody freaked out.



You wouldn't know it, but those are the eyes of a predator, gleaming after indulgence. We were all introduced to Portlands VOODOO Doughnuts, but none were so smitten as Tommy girl. The best doughnut was the maple bar with two strips of bacon on top. I know, I know...Genius.

While Lynnett and Brandon waited in line for our doughnuts we walked through the "Saturday Market" and found this fountain area by the Cloumbia River where the kids stripped down and ran and played. It was a really cool little area, it even had a big sand baox for the kids to play. We were entertained by tons of street performers and mimes. I will forever be haunted by the girl with the blond dreadlocks and her magical hula hoop. (sorry babe, even you thought she was sexy)



Yep, Tommy's dates will have these two to mess with if they don't walk the line. Trained killers bro, watch your step.


MULTNOMAH FALLS



On our way home the Rehrers followed us to Multnomah Falls. It was a great way to end the trip and let the kids get their wiggles out before the long trek home. Of course it would not be us if our kids didn't end up in their underwear in public so of course we did.
