Portland Part 2

Our Portland activities have continued the last couple of days.  A few of our cousins came over to play on Wednesday.

 

 The boys blew some bubbles

 and played in the yard. 

 In the evening we went to a park in West Linn,

 where the kids played in the fountains. 

 Water Time

 On Thursday we headed to the zoo

 and got to see the new baby elephant. 

 These two are best pals. 

 Cousins

 Beckett took a drive in the Jeep

 and the little ones hung out in the back.

 Grandpa Frank and Uncle Steve came back over to finish Nana's fence and Beckett helped out. 

 They did a wonderful job!

 This morning we headed to OMSI,

 with our sweet friends, The Wilkinsons.

Adventures in Portland

The last couple of days we spent in Portland at Nana's house.  Nana always has the best toys to play with.  

 Beckett LOVED the four wheeler. 

 Today I tried to take Pierce on it but it would not go very fast,

 so Beckett offered to take him for a ride.  Pierce had a ball.

 Yesterday Grandpa Frank and Uncle Steve came over to build a fence.

 Beckett jumped right in and helped out. 

 Hard Workers

 

Then in the afternoon we headed to the tram,

 where we saw a beautiful view of the city. 

 

That night we went over to Cousin Mason's house for dinner

 and fun.

 It is always a hoot with these three.

 YUMMY

 Today we took the boys to Canby for the children's parade.  Beckett rode Uncle Eric's old bike

 and Pierce rode the Wienermobile. 

 

Pierce won 2nd place for his entry.

 The parade started at one of the elementary schools and went to the fair grounds, where it was the first day of the fair. 

 Beckett wanted to wear Pierce's ribbon. 

 Pierce loved the attention and was waving to all the people. 

 So did Beckett!

 After the parade, we walked around the fair for a bit.

 We headed to the barns,

 to see all the animals. 

 Pierce is our little animal lover and does not think twice about petting the animals.  YIKES!

 While we were there we met Miss Clackamas.

 The boys participated in a Safety City.

 We ended the day back at Nana's house

 Life is Good
