February Family Gathering

Over President's Day weekend we traveled down to OR for the annual gathering of the family.  The excitement started on Friday morning when Saraya lost her first tooth on the way to swimming lessons!

 After swimming we headed to Portland where we enjoyed great sunny weather.  We walked around the downtown and did some shopping and had a good dinner.

Mt. Hood is in the distance.
Two turkeys.

Wish we could get on the boat!

We left Portland in the evening and headed south about 20 miles where we had a hotel for the night.  The kids got some good pool time in.  Isaac taught Saraya how to do a pencil dive.

 Luckily the tooth fairy found us in the hotel and rewarded Saraya for her tooth.  That tooth fairy is pretty smart - she found us in AZ on Christmas when Isaac lost his!

The next morning we headed to Eugene and the family fun started.  We had a great get together with about 30 aunts, uncles and cousins.  It was so fun to see the kids together.  I didn't take any pictures of the adults and not many of the kids, but here are the cousins.
 Saraya loves her time with Sophia.  She has so much fun with her.
 On Sunday, Carl, Michelle, Scott and the kids and I headed to University of Oregon and we wandered around the campus.  It was really pretty.  We found the special tree that was planted in honor of my Aunt Anne, obviously an amazing person to many people.  We miss her very much.
It was a great weekend, we are blessed with a wonderful family!

Sounds like a great trip. I didn't know that Anne worked at the University. Very nice memorial.
