Horse Ride

A few weeks ago the preschool summer camp Carys is going to had a petting zoo for all the kids. Of course she loved it and brought this picture home yesterday from school.

4th of July in Portland

Last week we took a trip to Portland, OR. We watched fireworks on the Willamette River on the 4th. Carys liked them but kept covering her ears because it was “Too loud!”.

She also picked up some special friends along the way. We had to stop in at Kohls to buy something and the Kohls Cares for Kids book is Winnie the Pooh. We’ve been looking everywhere for the last few months for an inexpensive Pooh. Turns out they had Eeyore and Tigger too. At $5 a piece I couldn’t complain, so she got all 3. She loved putting them all to bed for their many naps and Eeyore even went to time out a few times, although I’m not sure what he did.

We walked around the city, went to the International Test Rose Garden which was huge and took a trip to the Columbia River Gorge to see Multnomah Falls.

Better Late Than Never

Well it's been over a month since we got back from Myrtle Beach. We've been super busy deep cleaning the house and giving it a much needed paint job. Even though the flights getting there and back sucked, Carys got a fever midflight to Charleston and I got one coming back we all had a blast with Brian, Kim and baby Caroline.
