Here we are, still in Salem, out on a walk with the kidos.
I am not sure if Quincy liked my sunglasses better
or the camera better!!! But she loves to get her picture taken!!!
Merrick and Berkleigh already had their new school
clothes purchased before we arrived ...so
we had to have a fashion show so Grandma
could see how cute they were going to look on their
first day of school...
these are two of my favorites.
Do you love the red carpet? If you look close you
can see Buzz standing up and applauding too!!!
The Oregon County fair was going on while we were there
so one night we went and had a great time.
We went to see the animals.
This lamb was really tame and soft!!!
They had some pigmy goats with tiny little baby
kids...they were so cute and tiny.
Loved the lambs...
...and the horses.
This pig didn't like me taking its picture...so
I hurried and got out of there!!!
The kids each choose a ride...
Merrick picked the helicopter and Berkleigh
choose the hot air balloon.
The next day we were off to
Washington to see my Dad and my sister.
My Dad's 101st birthday was on August 27th...
so we went to celebrate!!!
Just a reminder from last year when we also
went to his birthday party, Dad is almost
exactly 100 years older than Quincy.
He was born in 1911 and she was born in 2011!!!
We gave him presents...
...Just two of Dad's favorite things,
(besides his daughters and grandchildren)
John Wayne and Westerns!!!
We also played the card game that
Mom and Dad used to play about every day...
"King's in the Corners."
I think all of us had a chance to win at least once.
It was fun seeing everyone again and hanging out
together.
The next day Jennifer took us to Portland. We were going
to catch our plane the next morning to SLC.
She showed us around downtown Portland.
We had lunch at this awesome cafe called the
Waffle Window...
Berkleigh's has peaches, blueberries, strawberry sauce
and lemon curd on top of a sugary sweet waffle.
(Wayne and I also had this one)
And Merrick had the chocolate and peanut butter.
They were the best waffles I have ever had!!!
Later that afternoon she took us to get doughnuts at the Voodoo
Doughnut house. Their doughnuts were also covered with all kinds of
yummy stuff...mine had oreos on top!!!
(Sorry no pics...I think I was on a sugar high)
It was so fun but it wore us all out....
Part 3...On to SLC!!!
