Lex Comes!

Lex & Family came for a visit. After years of saying they were going to come to Portland for a visit they did! I had to admit I was a little nervous about touring around with their many kids but we had a GREAT time! Too bad G-Ma Jan didn't come..... We started out touring in the Gorge at the Bonneville dam and saw the large sturgeon. Stopped at Multnomah Falls & then at a viewpoint showing off our beautiful Gorge.


Day Two we went to the Zoo, to the crazy Saturday Market downtown, Pioneer Square and Melissa just had to hit Voo-doo donuts (don't take your kids). Our downtown adventure was pretty fun but at one point Lex informed me that he had crossed the busy street to find a bathroom for one of his kids to look back and see Aysia chasing after a pigeon far away from the rest of us near busy traffic. Not funny, but oh my goodness that freaks me out.









Day Three we went to Astoria and saw the Goonie house , checked out the sea lions down at the docks...very cool and crossed the really big bridge in Astoria and crossed right back and then went to one of my favorites, Fort Clastop, and learned more about Lewis & Clark. Next we hit the beach in Seaside and buried a few kids, built a sandcastle and bought out the Seaside lifeguard sweatshirt store. Starving we went to Mo's in Cannon Beach and then built a fire on the beach and chilled. If you ever get a chance building a fire on the beach is one of the most fun things ever! Wow we were tired after all of our playing but it sure was fun! Can't wait for some new visitors.
