Portland Adventure

Dylan and I got to Portland Sunday night. Monday morning we hit the road for Seaside! My parents honeymooned here :) I had never been and Dylan hasn't been since he was little.

Asher and Brayden wanted to ride this....until it started moving

neither of them liked it

so I had to finish up the quarter!

Next stop: Candyman! We spun the wheel to win free taffy

Even Everett loved it!

Asher, Brayden, and I looked at EVERY flavor in the store and made sure we
got the best ones!

Kim took the boys on the carrousel while Dylan and I
watched Everett 

They didn't love it at first, but after a round they were
really enjoying themselves!

"That was so much fun!!"

Here is us!

Everett has the cutest faces!

We visited a hat shop and tried on EVEY silly hat they had.
Brayden is being Medusa and Asher is a Birthday Cake

The rooster

She moose

He moose

Moose love

Brayden had the crab hat covering his face and was
swinging around his "pinchers" as fast as he could

lunch!

Enjoying the view

being adventurers. They sure love their Uncle Dylan!

Asher INSISTED he had his picture taken in this window
(it's a home decor store)

Beach Time!

Everett loves the beach

Brayden skim boarding!

Throwing the board for Asher

waiting for the board to come

WIN!

I fall a lot.

Dylan never falls. Ever.

almost took out Brayden hah.

oh look, I'm in the water again. surprise surprise.

sometimes it hurts, and sometimes it REALLY hurts

Asher warming up

garden fresh!

The next day we went to the temple! Kimberly and the kids waited outside
while Dylan and I did some temple work. It was fun to be back at the
Portland Temple 11.5 months after we got married there!

The many faces of Everett Bradford Janeway

What a beautiful place

This was an awesome bridge! We crossed it like 20x because the gps kept
leading us the wrong way. We just wanted to get to OMSI!

We went to the Narnia exhibit first, but we couldn't
take pictures there :( 

Gross. Earwax.

Waiting for the submarine tour to start!

All of the gray pipes on top would retract into the top of the sub when
it submerged.

Brayden could not wait to get in there!

The stairs were really steep so Dyl helped out a little

Captain's chair

Sonar room. We hear orcas and dolphins!

Torpedo. the silver cap on the end stays with the sub and inside is a spool of wire that is connected to
the torpedo. It's 20 miles long! If the target changes course or speed or anything the sub wires the info to the
torpedo so it can correct it's course. If for any reason the wire gets cut the torpedo also has sonar on the nose to
find it's target.

The best beds in the house, second only to the captain's quarters!

66 beds for 73 men

Galley

Control room

Asher couldn't go since he wasn't old enough. We met up with him and
Kimber and the baby at the science playground after

This house simulates different strengths of earthquakes

When we weren't out adventuring we were cleaning house and helping Kim and Sean get things organized. We went to the farmer's market a few times and Kimberly and I probably played a million rounds of rummikub. We had so much fun! We were going to leave for La Grande on Friday, but decided to make a quick trip up to Mom and Dad's since we were so close! We spent Friday and Saturday morning in Enumclaw before heading back home. It was such a great trip and so fun to spend time with the Janeways! I can see this trip happening again!
