Well, we've been spending many of our weekends outside exploring the city. I thought I'd better get a blog up before we take off on our next adventure. We're driving to the coast this weekend for a day trip! We are very excited!
A couple weeks ago the weather was gorgeous for about 5 days straight. During one of those glorious days, Ryan and Cooper came and stole me from work for a picnic at the park! The park was up by the river so we got to see a 'big boat' (as Cooper likes to call them) come in to the harbor. That weekend, we went to the Hoyt Arboretum here in town. It's basically a huge park with all the local trees, bushes, and flowers. It was a gorgeous day and there were lots of people just enjoying the weather.
Then, last weekend we went to a botanical garden that is maintained by some old residents of Portland on the outskirts of town. It was like a huge forest with a creek running through it and it was all FREE! There was this whole area on how to do compost (that's right, lots of environmentally friendly people up here!), and then on our way back around to the car... there were two deer following us! We got some good pictures. Cooper wanted to try and pet them but luckily they were a bit too far away so even at a dead sprint, there was plenty of space between them! Cooper is still learning to excel at running but it's funny to watch him try!
The weather has been crazy all week with tons of rain today, but it must be okay because I still get a big smile on my face when it's raining outside!
