Last week we flew up to Oregon to visit Sarah and Jeremy and little Elliot. We were very busy all week, doing lots of fun things with our adorable grandson. Here are a few of the things we did while we were there:
Watched Elliot play in the pretty fountains at the Oregon State Capital, had Elliot model the Turkish outfit we got him in Istanbul in April, (doesn't he look happy to be wearing that?)
Went to the wonderful Portland Zoo to see all the animals, went on a great hike in the deciduous rain forest to see a beautiful waterfall, went to the beach near Lincoln City for him to play in the sand and make a castle after eating the best clam chowder in the world, read stories together, and one of our favorites......discovering the E.Z. Orchard Shortcake Stand where we indulged in a huge bowlful of Oregon berries drenched in whipping cream and real Tillimook vanilla ice cream.
We went there a few times....and enjoyed every bite. We also walked from Sarah and Jeremy's house to Bush Park to go through the Salem Art Festival and listen to the jazz bands, and on Saturday we watched Sarah as she ran a 5K race in 28 minutes!!
We had a good time meeting Elliot's playmates Rowen and Laya. Elliot and Rowen caught a lady bug and were completely fascinated with it crawling on Elliot's hand.
We were sad to leave them.....we had a very berry fun time!!

It looks like you guys had a really fun time!

Our family really enjoyed spending time with you after the race. We were especially sad to find out we missed the last shortcake run.
Alicia, we had such a nice time at your beautiful house after the race. It was fun getting to know your family a little better. Plus the brunch was fantastic!
And Shannon, I'm so glad the kids are coming to Lake Tahoe to spend time with all of you. Ellliot will have lots of fun with his cousins! He is such a sweet-natured little boy!
