A visit to the Portland Zoo!
While we had some nice weather we decided to hit up the Portland Zoo. We had a blast! It is always amazing to see these beautiful animals up close. We even had a bald eagle fly three feet above our heads during a bird show. It was awesome!
What a magnificent bird!
A baby elephant showing off his sweet moves!
He looks like the King of the jungle to me!
Lincoln and Dave viewing an exhibit, they were really into it!
I think Lincoln's favorite exhibit was the sea lions. He could not get enough of this sea lion that kept swimming right by him. I think the look on his face says it all. We love you Lincoln!

Sauvie Island (Beware...tons of pictures!)
Sauvie Island is an "Island" surrounded by Oregon rivers. It is filled with u-pick farms, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, amazing biking trails, and miles and miles of beaches. We had a great time enjoying all this fun place had to offer.
Don't worry we didn't go here...
We opted for a little less showy of a beach!
When we first moved to Oregon I was amazed to see that these blackberries grow like weeds, literally, they are considered weeds in Oregon. They have wild blackberry bushes that line the freeways. It is pretty awesome!
Lincoln had an amazing time playing on the beach!
So pretty!
Dave and Lincoln venturing out into the cold, cold water!
Benson also loved the trip to the beach. Doesn't he look satisfied?
Young Love! Well...pretty young!

Uncle Ryan and Parki Life
We were so lucky to have Dave's brother Ryan come and pay us a visit. We had not seen Ryan since he returned from his mission 6 months ago...so this was long overdue. We visited Seaside beach to show Ryan the frigid waters of the Oregon coast and to see where Dave lived for a short time.
Lincoln had a fabulous time swinging on the beach. Dave and Ryan tried to have a contest to see who could jump further out of a swing. I am not sure who won, but Dave did have an amazing tumble. I am glad you are ok honey!
Below is Ryan at a boat dock in Astoria. He was venturing out to the end of the dock where snarling sea lions were sun bathing.
Here are Lincoln and Ryan in front of the Astoria Column
What handsome brothers! Little view from atop the Astoria column.
Just the cutest little Lincoln around! In case you didn't know, he is a pretty big deal in this town!
We are really high!
Playing in the sand at Seaside beach!
Benson doing what he does best! Isn't he the cutest little sleeper?
