Oregon Adventures

We are in vacation mode as this is our last month in Oregon. Time to go and do things we wanted to and haven't yet.

Here is a restaurant we had been wanting to try. Calon is really enjoying a sopapilla.

We headed to Tillamook, OR to check out the cheese factory. Farmer Chad and his trusty cow Kes.

The factory.

Moooo!

Partaking in some delicious grilled cheese sandwiches and fries at the Tillamook cheese deli.

Silly boy.

Yum!

Next to the Air Museum in Tillamook.

Keston showing his balance skills on the way into the museum.

Pilot and Co-Pilot.

Extremely large hangar that the museum is in.

This one reminds me of Grandpa.

Back to Tillamook factory to get some of their ice cream.

Wahoo!

Uh-oh the ice cream is on my lap.

Boo!

Portland's World Forestry Museum.

Practicing planting trees.

Practicing flinging dirt everywhere.

Huge wheels are so cool.

That is a beary good smile Keston.

Large train outside the museum.

And onto the Chocolate Fest that was held there this year. MMMM!

Just had to add this cute pic of the boys and one of their many Monster Jam tracks.

"I'm on a Boat"

We went to NewPort, OR to explore a couple weeks ago when Mike came to visit. Here are some pictures from the trip and a few others from his visit.

Chad, Mike and Keston went to MotoCross and saw the "monster truck" in the parking lot.

A sign in NewPort, OR right by an adult store.

Calon loves the beach, he really wanted to get to the water....

but the cold weather and freezing wind made that impossible this trip.

Mike is fighting the wind.

Rogue Brewing Company. A local favorite.

Seal Rock, right by our hotel. Those things are noisy!

Calon was a big fan.

Welker Totem.

Calon loved hiding in the closet at the Bed and Beer we went to.

Mike and Kes test their wing spans at the Newport Aquarium.

Jellies!

Those are some BIG crabs!

Chad is making an offering to the shark Gods.

Scuba Mike.

AAAHHHH!

Cheese.

Squeeze.

Snow? Snow!!!

One day, with no predictions from the weather man, it stared to snow. Kes and I saw it start while Cal was napping so we went and checked it out on the deck.

Keston was so excited. He asks all the time if it will ever snow Oregon.

When Calon woke up we got on all our gear and really went out to play.

Enough for snowballs? You bet!!

Cute boy. He has never seen snow. He loved it instantly.

He was mesmerized by looking up and watching it come down.

So Fun!!

It snowed a lot more by the time Chad got home from work, so we went out and played more! We didn't bring the camera, though, because it was really coming down. It was a really great having surprise snow!!
