There is so much to do in the Pacific North West, and so many fun people to do those things with. We were so happy to be able to visit the OMSI in Portland with Jed and Eve. Steven loved the space area. The girls were fascinated by the Pompeii exhibit. Jefferson wanted to ride the escalator up and down and up and down. And, all four kids loved the hands on science area.
When everyone wants to hold Aunt Eve's hand.

Steven immediately grabbed a salmon from the
river damming station and threw it into the whirlpool.
He was delighted by the result. Matt less

All in the name of science!

To keep the gang entertained, Melinda googled and found a tomato festival. It was pretty small and perhaps disappointing. But, the tomatoes were yummy!
Grandma and Grandpa's wagon is such fun!
Even Uncle Jed likes riding around.
This gang loves tomatoes.
A spicy group!
Today was Grandpa Jeff's 60th birthday, but he decided to share his day with all the summer birthdays for one big group party.
Riding the mower is almost as fun as riding the horses!
Dreams do come true! Steven driving

We're only a few days into our trip and it's already been a busy one. Can't wait to enjoy so many more fun activities together.
