Portland Trip

While Peter was off in the mountains with his dad and brothers I ventured to Portland with the kids. It was a lot of fun, exhausting but fun. While in Portland we got to see a lot of family. My Aunt Susie and her two kids where there from New York. I haven't seen her in 2 1/2 years and she had never meet my Susie. My Sister was up from Vegas with her whole family. I only get to see her once a year. I also got to see my Aunt, Uncle and cousin form Alaska. All that on top of the family the still lives in the Portland area.My wonderful Aunt Kim(who looks at my blog daily) and her family. My Grandma who celebrated her 88th birthday while I was there. My big brother and his boys. Also, some of Peters family, his mom, 2 sister-in-laws and 2 nieces and 2 nephews.
It was a full and wonderful trip.

Sweet Susie

At the Portland Zoo

The boys did not like the stroller change up.

It upset them not to be in the same stroller.

This is what Susie was most interested in, playing with the buckles on her stroller.

Fat squirrel at rest stop before The Dalles
This is one of my kids favorite things to do on the way home.

It was a great trip. I loved to see all my family and have that time together. Of course I came home and slept for 2 days before I was able to unpack or do anything else, but it was well worth it.
