Animal impersonations

A couple of animals!

Cold winter day

Sunny days done happen very often here in Oregon. So, when Nathan noticed the sun shinning, he said it was time to go to the park.

It was a beautiful day, but very cold!

The kids had fun riding bikes, running after bubbles, and playing on the slides.

We didn't last very long in the cold, but we had a fun time.

Nathan's 34th birthday

For Nathan's 34th birthday we had a family party. Jonny and Emily made him birthday cards. Nana came and we ate pumpkin pie, Yummy!

We drove to Powell Books in Portland and he picked a book for his present.

Happy Birthday! We Love you!

Pumpkin Patch

We drove out to Sauvie Island to meet the Garners at a Pumpkin patch. We got to drive across this awesome bridge! It was huge!
We hopped out of the car and Nathan spotted a baby frog hopping along. The kids loved it.

We walked through the pumpkin patch trying to find the perfect pumpkin. No luck.

We wondered around to another pumpkin patch. Mini pumpkins. Just the right size!


After picking out the perfect pumpkins, we rode on the tractor ride. It was lots of fun.


Then it was time for the corn maze.
Lucky we had Nathan to direct us through. Jonny loved the maze.
We never found the Garners. Turns out we were at the wrong pumpkin patch. Oh well, It was a very fun day!

OMSI/Bike Ride

We went on a family bike ride in Milwauki. The bike path followed a train track down into Portland. We rode by the river and ended up at a museum in Portland. OMSI. Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. It was a great place. They have a submarine that you can tour. (We will do that some other day). We went in and saw a movie about the universe. It was a lot of fun.

Tram Ride

We rode the tram in Portland for FHE one night. It was very cool!

Painting

Jonny and Emily love to paint. One of Jonny's favorite toys is a paint spinner.

Emily prefers body art.

Metzler Park

Metzler Park is beautiful! There is a bridge over the river, beautiful trees, lots of grass, camp grounds, and a great park. The kids had a blast throwing rocks in the river, and playing at the park.
