Thanksgiving

*You won't want to miss our 100th Blog below :)*

Even after 100 blogs - there is still struggling posting. The little memory book was suppose to go first, but instead it is at the bottom. Oh well. This post is like many here - just documenting. This was our little Thanksgiving trip to Portland. You're welcome to see what we did.

Highlights:
Breakfast at Roosters in Pendleton
Being with our two girls on the long rides to and from
Spending time with Janell, Ben, Davis, Jason & Paul
Laughing so hard while playing games all night down in the lobby
The lovely hotel we stayed in
Kicking around Janell's new neighborhood and enjoying all the
antique stores, boutiques & bakery!
Hugging our kids :)
Great food - we always seem to find it!
A Thanksgiving movie all together - The Fabulous Mr. Fox (GO SEE IT!)
Portland's Saturday Market
Watching Davis buzz off on the scooter.
The great Radio Lab clips Janell shared with us for the ride home.
The beautiful scenery - people watching - the weather!
Just being together, cuz we LOVE our family!



Saturday we wandered around the market a little. It's always changing so it's fun to go back when we visit. Such talented artisans this world has and so many unique individuals. Here are a few pictures of our day down by the market & waterfront.





Driving over the Sellwood Bridge. Such pretty country in the northwest.


We loved the green moss - nice photo, Camber!


No shortage of beautiful trees in Portland - with or without their leaves.


We were so happy to be with our kids in Portland. We certainly missed those who weren't with us though. What a crazy thing it is when your chicks wander from under your wings.


Happy to have that awesome helmet on his head ?
Happier to have a faster mode of transportation for sure !!
