Granddaddy and Nana visit from Florida!


Granddaddy and Nana came to visit. It was great to see them. The last time they were here the boys were 3 years old!
On Saturday, we went on a driving adventure. We headed East out of Portland, and our first stop was Joe's Donut Shop in Sandy, Oregon. A must-stop for anyone heading up to the mountain! Since we wouldn't all fit in my car, we borrowed a zipcar for the day. We had a Toyota Sienna named Shania. She was a great ride!
Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood was our second stop. What a beautiful day!
Down the mountain to Trillium Lake Campground where we showed Granddaddy and Nana where we love to camp.
We stopped for lunch in Hood River at the Full Sail Brewery, then loaded back into Shania for the final stretch home. We made one last stop at Multnomah Falls.
Nate and Granddaddy playing some catch in the backyard. What a great summer day! On Sunday we stayed home and G'ma came up from Salem with a big ol' salmon that we grilled for dinner. mmmm! Nate and Chris harvested some green beans from the garden for our meal.
A highlight of the day was the impromptu piano recital that we had for the grandparents. They were treated to some of the classics: Camptown Races, Honeybee, Deck The Halls, Old MacDonald, Mary Had A Little Lamb, Cuckoo!, and maybe 1-2 others. Gotta love the grandparent paparazzi on the couch.
