Of course there's time for fun and TRAVEL: Portland, OR

Summertime is a time for fun and relaxation.  Time with family and friends.  Great time to travel and see new places.  Here are a few pictures of the kiddos bonding with friends, and having fun in the sun!!  

Snacks and swimming with friends.

The Fourth of July celebration with swimming, BBQ and fireworks with friends and family.


AND we took a trip to Portland, OR.  Educational experiences included a short visit to the Louis and Clark expedition trail end-point at Seaside.  Shark hotel where they were giving out real, live shark teeth!!  AND finally to Evergreen Waves and Wings waterpark AND Museum to see the Spruce Goose.  Honestly, we swam too long to actually go INTO the Museum, so we circled around the outside, peeking thru window...and learned about WWII and the airplanes on the lawn.

Seaside Beach, Oregon.  Lovely day.  Warm sand.  Fun times in the Pacific Ocean.

Landmarks and common places:  Voodoo Doughnuts was a wonderful experience.

And this is Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum located in McMinnville, Oregon.  Daddy gives the kiddos the rundown on this fabulous plane!!
