Visiting Portland

Here is a snap shot of our time in Portland earlier in July.  We had a great time visiting friends and family. 

Rose got her face painted on the 4th of July.  We celebrated the 4th of July in Manzanita, OR. A beautiful small town on the Oregon Coast.  We have a few friends who live there so we split our day with both sets of friends.

4th of July Parade

After the parade we went to our friends Kristi and J's house.  

Here is Rosie and Daisy playing so good.

Here is our day to the Portland Zoo.  Rose was looking so cute waiting for the Max Train.

We got to spend one day on the River.  I begged Chris and Tracey to take us out on their boat.  :o)

One night we stole away and had dinner with some friends from our old church small group.  Sure do miss these guys.  The food was EXCELLENT and all the kids played great together.

Hannah is Rosie's "sister"  She lived across the street from us in Portland and was over almost everyday from the time Rose was born to play with her.  We had a Hannah Day went to Bridgeport Village and walked around.  Rosie sure does miss Hannah.  

Coeur d'Alene Visit

In early July, Rose and I took a trip to visit Grandma Ellie and Papa Ron in beautiful Coeur d'Alene, ID.  We had spent a week in Portland and Andy had to fly back to Wisconsin to get back to work.  Rose and I played for one more week.  Here's some pictures of what we did.

We had a great time in Coeur d'Alene.  With Andy could have been there with us and the weather would have been a little nicer.  Hopefully next time we visit.
