Walking and Walking and Walking...

Been walking, getting ready for the quickly approaching Portland To Coast. Gonna be here before I know it! I decided to find a new path, so I walked down a road I've driven on for years, but have never walked it. Got to see the Scandinavian American Cultural and Community Center close up, and the very cute bus stop they put up. And there are signs on the bus stops, and I liked that someone wrote some quotes on one of them. And the trees: amazing. It was a great walk, with a couple of small hills, and I think I'll be doing this pretty much every night until PTC. Hang in there with me sunshine!

Beer Fest

Mark and I tagged along with Steven and Jen to the Oregon Brew Festival in downtown Portland. WOW, was there a crowd!! Didn't think you could fit that many people in one place! We tried different beers (and yes, we were careful), and then we went to Hubers for happy hour, and part of the fun of Hubers is watching the making of your Spanish Coffee. Quite the show, and we had a wonderful time.

Dogs love to race!!! Fun times!!

I went to a dog event in Aloha Saturday and had a blast watching some of the events. The dogs in this section were all having such a good time.

Relay...again....

Some more pictures of Relay. Hanging out. Policemen walking. Cute kids. Autographed hockey stick (yea, go Winterhawks!). Tired husband. Husband and son at dinner the night after Relay (yea, John Barleycorns!). Good times.

Bouncy Houses can kick your butt!

One of the last things we did when packing up for Beaverton Relay was to pack up a big ole bouncy house. And yes, I was helping, and then we thought someone should take some pictures. It's much harder than it looks! Those dang things are heavy! Bye bouncy house: see you next year!
