We drove out in to the country and took a small hike up the Wahclella Falls Trail. It was only a mile long and at the end there was a beautiful waterfall. It seemed to be hiding in the backhills; you could hear the sound of water but you could not see the waterfall until you arrived. Oregon has many many trails short and long I am sure that they are all great.

Jennifer carried Niki all the way

We also camped with the kids.Well we really did not camp wth the kids we simply helped them set up camp and then we left for a warm hotel. Stacy stayed with Jennifer and a few other moms and about 10 or 12 kids. They stayed at a state park that was right on the Pacific coast where only a sand (rocks) dune was between then and the camp. This was also next to a rain forest. I do think that all had a lot of fun hiking on the beach and in the forest. The State Park also had a nature class the next morning for children and the topic of the day was Owl Pellets. All the kids dissected a pellet. Aleks was in heaven!
Aleks and Luka both loved the adventure and Niki was just running back and forth enjoying his own adventures.

On one weekend we drove out to Mount Hood where there was still enough snow for skiers to ski. We had shorts on while others skied. After the mountain we had a short drive to another wonderful park. We had lunch at this State park and some of us that were brave enough to go swimming. Cooold water!!!! You can see where the water is coming from and why it is so cold!!!!

We had a wonderful time in Portland OR and hope to go back soon !!!

2010 July in Portland-Part 1

Finally in July we flew to Portland OR to see our Grandsons. Stacy and I flew over first on July 12th. We arrived late that evening and Aleks, the oldest grandson was the only one that could come to the airport with his daddy to pick us up. Aleks brought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers. When we arrived at their home Luka and Niki were waiting up for us and both where so exited!

Grandpa came a few days later. We had a great time and enjoyed being a part of their every day life (even though it was for just a few days). Jennifer had a birthday while we were in Portland and she went out to celebrate with her husband, Rome. I know that is not much but we were glad that we could be there to babysit. Aleks, Luka and Niki are just wonderful kids and we had no problem babysitting once we assured them that mama is going to be back! We had a fun evening.

We enjoyed going on a nature hike with a group of kids.

This was an outing about the grasslands.

Well some knew where the grass is.

We went to a farm to pick Blueberries and Raspberries. There were cherries left on a few trees. What fun!

We did not eat them all .

This big mama pig was also at the berry farm .

At home we watched the boys ride there bikes

and that they both can do very well!

Need to buckle up or I am not going to do it! Niki loves to buckle up.

While the kids played, dad and grandpa did maintenance on the car.

We also had a wonderful meal at some friends house; The weather was just perfect to eat and cook outside.

Great food and people

Just look at dessert. Mmmm.... so good!!!
