Portlandia

One of the highlights of Perrie's week -- she happened upon her first book signing, the author behind the Frozen story.  Perrie would LOVE to be Elsa, the ice queen someday!

The next day we headed off to a weekend getaway in Portland.  What a fun adventure!  Catching up with friends and family, eating good food, exploring the science museum, Trailblazers game ... can't wait to do it again!

Kisses from Terry (the terrier)!
Can I PLEASE have some ice cream?  How can you resist that face?



Perrie practicing her babysitting skills with Declan.

Declan, Perrie, and Isaac sleepover!

We loved touring the Portland science museum - what a great place for kids to explore!

Learning skateboard tricks at the Tony Hawke exhibit...

Learning about friction and gravity
Practicing those 360 spins
Fun with water
and what's better than water ... a wet kid in sand!
Thanks to the Hubber's we were treated to an adults night out to the Trailblazers game -- fun!

Go Blazers!
with Jude 
and Felicia


One more stop on the way out of town - Slappy Cakes - where you cook your own tasty pancakes.  Of course, Isaac planted his hand on the griddle - stubborn little kid didn't believe us that it would be hot.  He doesn't get that trait from me!

What a treat to meet the author of Frozen! I'm glad we were able to see the movie with you Perrie!
