Truman loves a good peach.

Because the city transit is free within downtown we decided to go for a ride. The boys insist any time we go downtown.


Sterling was quite thrilled with the ride!

Farmers Market

Then we headed to a different part of town where they have the Portland Farmer's Market. It is quite different from Saturday's Market. There are no pirates, or people playing musical instruments with flip flops, etc. There is a lot of fresh local food and much more normal people.

Mom grabbed some local cheese and artisan breads for us to snack on. We a had local cherries and peaches...YUM!

(Does anyone know how to post more than 4 pictures through Picasa?)
We made sure to get some fun balloon paraphanalia while we were at Saturday's Market.

Walker was inspired by all the pirates by the fountain and asked for a Pirates hat. Yes, those are Pirates on the fountain. I am not sure what they do exactly. They never performed. I am pretty sure they are normal people during the week, you know bank tellers, cashiers, secretaries, etc. But on the weekends they are pirates by the fountain!

Very entertaining and very Portland!

Mom & Dad's visit to Vancouver

I wanted to post some pictures of Mom and Dad's trip to Vancouver. We had a great time while they were here in August.
We took them to the Fort Vancouver. The boys love looking at the gardens and playing on the canons.

We also made sure to do some very Portland and visit Saturday's Market. Here we are in the Hat and Sock booth.

Pictures of our Alaskan Cruise

Totem poles


Silt makes the water a beautiful turquoise color

Here's our boat
This eagle had had its beak blown off by a poacher, but it grew another one back in its rescue home.
The only picture of the whale I got
This is a bear eating a whale carcass

the train ride was my favorite excursion
There was a family of eagles that lived on top of this
Do you kids remember going for a ride on this when you were little in Victoria?
