Since school was out for a few days so the dads can go kill deer (its true...) our non-hunting family took the opportunity to go see Grandpa Gary, Shirley and Papa Bob in Oregon. What a great place!! The kids did amazingly the whole time and we had a great time. I did not bring my camera (grrrrr....) so here's what Brad's sucky camera phone provided.
Escalators: Who needs the park when we can send the kids up and down the escalators? Way more fun to do outside of our county without the "disapprovingwhoistheirmotherjudging" that seems to take place here.
Pumpkin Patch: The best patch I have ever been to for kid stuff. (Shannan you must visit this place) Rope swing into a pile of dirty mattresses? Check! Hippies doing face painting with extra glitter? Check! Stacked up hay that kids can climb on? Check! Sending Amelia down big scary rickety slide alone? Check!
Boating on the Columbia: We were able to take Grandpa Gary's small yacht down the river and do a little sightseeing. By the way, although they say its just like driving a car, its not. I sucked at it:
On the way home:
Home at last: Its good to be home, but we sure did have a great time and are looking forward to going out again in December.

I want to move to Oregon so I never have to pump my own gas again.
I didn't know you were even allowed to drive across state borders.
(I'd still prefer the 70 degree falls I grew up in.)
Sorry to miss Thanksgiving, but I can't go to Utah because it's cold.
Lots of fun :::)))))
