Summer Fun - Weeks 10 & 11

Well, all good things have to come to an end.  In this case, Summer.  We sure did make the most of it!  The last two weeks we went to Movie Night at Southlands, Casa Bonita, the Denver Zoo, an exhibit on Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, the opening of Cabella's, swam A LOT with grandma, celebrated Uncle Jard's Birthday and camped in the backyard.

Oregon 2013 - Day 6 & 7

On our last two days of vacation, we went to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science & Industry), played in the fountains at Jamison Square, went to the Portland Zoo and walked the waterfront along the Willamette River.  Goodbye Oregon!  We'll miss you!

Oregon 2013 - Day 5

On day 5 we hiked up to the top of Multnomah Falls.  It is a little over a mile each way.  We met my mom's nephew and his girlfriend there.  When we got to the top we spread my Aunt Sandy's ashes at the top of the Falls.
