Vacation Day 3 ~ July 13

Saturday morning the kids slept in a little longer so that was a nice change! We got ready, packed up, and headed to Tula for some breakfast!

The kids sitting at the kid table. 

Enjoying his banana flax bread and some water

After breakfast we headed to the Loyd Center to pick up Matt's suit and let the kids run around in the play area. 

Xander's fav toy (again) was the ambulance

Gabriella had so much fun jumping off the giant bandaid

Using the giant stethoscope!

Matt getting his temperature checked!

Yeah, I work out!

Lunch at Red Robin! 

Gabriella likes to take silly pictures!

Matt got a GIANT burger!

Xander fell asleep on the way to the wedding

U-Pick berries! There were so many organic produce places when we took a detour to Sauvvies Island. I wish we had that variety around here!

Hay!

More Hay!

All dressed up and waiting for the wedding to start

Love these two!!!

Beautiful family!

My two fav guys!!

Yes, that is Darth Vader and a Storm Trooper. 

Me and my love!

Gabriella enjoyed playing with her silverware

What a fun treat! I had a strawberry-peach margarita and Matt had a beer. 

Fun in the photo-booth!

How Xander will look in 20 years!

"I catched my Brodder!"

What can I say, the boy loves his accessories! 

Bride and Groom's first dance. So sweet!

Gabriella doing her "hotdog" dance and joined by the bride's uncle. So funny! They danced a long time and this is the tale end of it. 

Gabriella's self-portrait!

Dancing with daddy!

The wedding was beautiful and so much fun! I was apprehensive about going because I only knew the bride and groom, no one else, but everyone was so nice!! I felt very welcome and had a blast! 

Vacation Day 2 ~ July 12th

The kids woke up early today so we took turns taking them down to get some breakfast. 

Matt and the kids watching some tv while I packed up for the day. 

This is what happens when you follow your GPS to a random park in Portland, lol!

We finally made it to Washington Park (right next to the Portland Zoo) and let the kids loose. The playground was big and fun and friendly for both grown ups and little kids. A great free activity to do!!

 

We took a little walk along the nature trail. It was mostly shady and fun to look at all the different plants and flowers. 

Our family! 

Matt climbed up the hill a bit and took the kids with him. 

Us girlies!

We also made a stop at New Cascadia Gluten Free Bakery. 

The kids loved sharing their cupcake!

The kids had fun playing at the rehearsal for the wedding. 

Genevieve (the bride) took us over to feed some of the alpacas. They didn't get more than a couple feet from us though. Xander grabbed a big handful of their food, and after trying to eat it, he kept holding out his hand to them to try and get them to eat it. I set him down on the ground and he took off running towards the alpacas who ran from him. He laughed and chased them even more. It was so funny!!!

My pretty girly with the hydrangeas! 

Rehearsal dinner was delicious!! We got to go to a pizza place with a salad bar and GF pizza!! Yummers!!

I love how both my kids love to eat healthy!!
