Our Trip!!

So sorry to have taken so long to get some pictures of our trip up but we had some technical difficulty with our internet. But here they finally are . . .and there are a lot of them! Also they are not in any particular order, but they do show a little bit of what we did while we were there.

Kyler getting ready to fly. Both the boys did great on both flights. Kyler loved the whole experience!

We always love to go to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry). It is the most amazing place ever where they kids can go play and explore. It's even fun for us adults. As you can see Travis is organizing the toys in the water area- what a blast!

Another place we must go to when we visit is the Portland Zoo!! Best zoo ever. It was great because so many of us got to go and so the kids just ran around and had a blast. It is such a neat zoo. And they were getting the lights ready for the Christmas season so we got a small preview.

We hiked to the top of Multnomah Falls this time. This is us at the bottom so you can see what we hiked . . .well I just noticed it doesn't show the whole Falls, but it's taller then that and we hiked it!! It was gorgeous! Oh such a fun day with family. The kids were climbing up trees on the trails and just having a great time.

On Travis' birthday we went up to Camp Baldwin where he was a Scout Leader. It was fun to hike around and actually see the places that he talks about.

This is Eldon and Keaton. They are a month a part . . . Eldon is older and smaller. But I think they're going to be friends.

We were able to go to each of the sister's home and spend some time with them. With the Martinson's we played Solarquest . . . it's like an Outer Space Monopoly. Goran and Travis were loving it, Ingela and I well we enjoyed the company!

Great Grandma Wheeler, my mother-in-laws mom. We got to spend some time with her and Kyler just adored her.

Kayla, Kyler, and Alana were all born in 2006.

We went to the Raceway in Portland were they do lights that cars can drive through. Kyler loved watching from the sun roof.

Thanksgiving dinner (Kyler was at the kids table . . .we didn't forget him at home or anything).

We went out to the beach and spent two days. You can't see it but behind us is the lighthouse that Travis and I got engaged. Also while we were there we were able to watch some seals enjoying the waves, it's amazing to see them out of the zoo and enjoying life in the wild.

The night before we left all the kids did the Nativity. It was a great way to end the trip. Kyler was in inn keeper and Eldon was a wise man.

We had so much fun with family, oh man it was so great to be there and the time went so fast! Thanks Hogmans, you really know how to party!
