Portland

Oh look!  The boys and I went to Portland.  We traveled there with my mom and met up with my sister, brother in law, aunt and uncle.  There was a whole lot of fun going on!

The Zoo!

Saturday Market
(That was a much needed creativity boost.  I felt like I hadn't done anything new or creative in a long time.  It was so fun to see what others were doing and get the juices flowing again.)

Off to a parade.  We had to take a bus.  This is big time fun for small town kids!

And the cabin!  My boys love water!

We enjoyed our time out west.  It was fun to come home too!  My parents stayed for another day so I could prep for VBS the day after we got back.

Next up?  My kitchen gets a remodel.  My poor (also wonderful) mother in law just happens to be visiting this next week.  She will be helping to pack one of my kitchens for the 3rd time.  (My father did the 1st one.  We sure moved a lot.)  I'm thankful I've never had to pack a kitchen on my own.  I'm also thankful I actually don't have to move this time.
