We had so much fun! Our trip was jam packed from the moment we stepped off the plane to the moment we boarded the plane to leave.
Our friends Michele and Emmet have 2 little boys, Ronan and Miles and we had a blast hangin out with all of them.
Keiley and Drake wait with anticipation to board the plane to leave...
We met Ronan a few years ago, but he was just a baby. This was our first meeting with Miles.It looks like they both took very well to Keiley!
Our first full day Michele and Emmet decided to take us on a nature hike to the very top of this waterfall. The picture does not do it any justice, it was a mile hike up and then back down.
The scenery is just beautiful. So green and lush. We are not quite used to that here in So Cal.We are standing on a bridge looking down at the waterfall and we are only about 1/8 of a mile up. We have a loooooong way to go!
Along the way up, there was random caves throughout. The kids thought it would be funny if they could just stay in one while we finished the hike.
I didn't get any pictures of us finishing the hike, simply because not all of us did. Emmet, Ronan and Drake were the only troopers and completed it in its entirety. Great job guys!

Great job guys!Another fun day we had was visiting one of many fountains a fabulous downtown park had. We also rented a peddle buggy to peddle all around the water front. Portland was a very physical trip....Lots of excersice. Not sure my kids ever want to go away with me again :)
Keiley and Miles deciding whether or not to brave the fountain....
Drake and Keiley are not too sure about this. We don't have fountains here that you can actually go for a swim in...or do we????
Wait! Drake had decided "why the heck not" right??
As our fabulous first trip to Portland came to an end, we had a little 8+ hour delay at the airport due to a wing malfunction on our plane. Rather than get on the plane, of course we just hung out in the airport. Kids running around, playing on the people movers and such. It made for a very long day, but with alot of great memories.

As a result however, the moment we finally got on a plane and took off, the kids took off to dream land.
How cute are they!
