Portland OR

Last month Neal and I took a trip out to the northwest to explore. First stop was Portland OR!

Wandering around downtown




We made a stop in to see my cousins, 3 of the 4 of whom I had never met! Here's little Soren playing with the running water, a favorite activity of his.

Oliver demonstrating skills from his circus class.


Weeeee!






Friendly fuzzy kitty...




I'm not sure why, but this sign amused me.

Fun in the pool

Fun times with my cousins in the pool!





Grandma!


Violet loves to ham it up for the camera

Tilf-Shift lens weekend

When I rented the snazzy tilt-shift lens for Lynnette and David's wedding last month, I took it around the neighborhood and to a cookout. Play time!

I love this effect on the trees




We had a few dogs roaming the grounds at the cookout








And of course the star of the show!
