G &GG

Let it be known far and wide that my kids have the greatest grandparents ever!

Grandma and Grandpa Gardner came on up to our neck of the woods to get their fill of the H-Bear and Beba-meister. And oh-did-they ever! Poor Grandpa couldn't even use the bathroom w/0 a very anxious Harry sitting outside with his face squeezed beneath the crack saying "Gampa, Gampa is that you?" Poor guy. Harry at the beach with "THE truck"

Ignoring the crack in the distance that Kent just brought to my attention....ah hmmmm.....this picture helps to illustrate the nonstop interaction wif grandpa?! They ate it up every second.


Bebs at the beach.

At the farm on the way home from the beach for REAL milk.

How cute is she?!

We tried a new beach this time and really liked it. It had a tidal pool type thing that was great for the kids while we still enjoyed the beautiful waves in the distance. It was stunning...topped off with ice cream smiles all around!

Grandpa and his fan club.

Love these people!
We went to the Portland Temple and lunch together. It was so heavenly.


Hopefully we didn't love them out and they will come back soon. Tomorrow is good for us!

Keep Portland Weird...

There is a bumper sticker out there that says simply "Keep Portland Weird." It took us two years to go downtown to the riverwalk, but after an afternoon jaunt I now "get" that bumper sticker.....Portland is just.....out there. Really, really far out there. I will not be owning one of those bumper stickers anytime soon, but I get it now.

The bridge going up and down.
The view from the otherside.

Love this picture!

And this one. These are my little peeps watching the Portland Peeps.

First we walked around the bridge circuit AND THEN saw the glaring rent a bike sign and HAD to do that to. It was so much fun. And will be on our list of things to take people to do when they come and visit.

We ended the day sidestepping past a man yelling at himself and hitting his head straight into VOO-DOO doughnuts where I turned my nose up at the maple bar with bacon down the middle for a Portland Cream. The only reason we did this was because it was the shortest line we had ever seen come out of there.....there were only 7 people ahead of me. Crazy store, crazy doughnuts, crazy people. I came home and showered, but we had a great time.

More to come about our heavenly visit from G & G G!
