SUMMER 2013: Week 9

SUNDAY -- Church, plus a special Home Community BBQ.  For some reason, I only got one photo from the day.  (Probably because I was too "busy" chatting and playing games and eating and enjoying the company of these amazing people.  We're going to miss them more than words can say!!!

MONDAY --  I spent the day packing more and organizing and planning our last few days here.  Also, food prep so I can pack up the rest of the kitchen.  Peter took the kids to an indoor trampoline place and to OMSI one last time.  They had fun!





Here's a video of the fun!



TUESDAY -- Celebrated Ezra today with a trip to the Coast.  We went to Cannon Beach and Ecola State Beach.  Read about it and see photos HERE.

WEDNESDAY -- Really buckled down with the packing.  Jeremiah played at a friend's house all day. Alayna got some game time before we pack up the Wii.  We went school shopping (yes, before we move; three words: no sales tax).  Had dinner with Aunt Jill.  The only photo from today is one with their piano teacher.  We're going to miss her!!!



THURSDAY -- Took the kids to Clackamas Aquatic Center (one of their library reading prizes).  Plus a "last night out" with my nursing friends while Peter went bowling with Jill and the kids.







FRIDAY --  I had all these plans to do things "one last time", but the reality was that we were just too darn busy.  We had to finish packing and then a lot of friends showed up to help load up the moving truck.  Almost time to bid adieu.




SATURDAY -- Everything was packed up.  Peter and Jeremiah left in the truck.  Alayna and I stayed behind.  We attended a Portland pasttime--the soap box derby race on Mt. Tabor.  So fun.  Then, we hung out with Aunt Jill.  Time to say "see ya later" to our 2nd home.  So long Oregon.  Thanks for being so good to us!  See you soon!!!

All packed up; thanks to the morning shift--Evan!

One last photo in front of our Portland 

Soap Box Derby!  Bluth Staircase!!!

One last outing with Leo!

Mysety Machine!

Gelati!  Italian ice with vanilla custard.  Sooooo good.  It's in Milwaulkie, Oregon and worth the trip!

Sistaaaaaaahs



We're going to miss Aunt Jill so much!
