Memorial Day

We decided to stick close to home on Memorial Day because Ron was afraid we would be fighting crowds everyplace. For some reason we thought the Rose Gardens would be mellow, yeah right! We almost gave up finding a parking space, but by some miracle, somebody was just pulling out on our second time through.

From zero to two family pictures in one week! We are doing great!

There were all kinds of folks hanging out in the ampitheater, so we let Orion run around here for awhile. It was awesome because there were all kinds of balls and frisbees just laying around which seemed to be community property, or at least everybody had that Portland sharing attitude happening!

Guess Orion got worn out running around because he wanted to chill in the backpack

To understand how cute this is you need to remember this is Grandma Rose....

And on a totally unrelated topic... here is some art by Orion that he made the same day. He actually asked us to come intothe playroom because he wanted to show us his art! So cute! Ron had shown him some sculpture recently and explained about how it was art, so maybe that is where he got the idea.

But I think the best part of the day was when Rose offered to watch Orion so Ron and I could go back to Home Depot on our own. Or mabye that was the worst part... hahaha. For better or worse, we bought a French Door and some bricks for a couple home improvement projects we are going to try to do on our own. More to come on that.... We also bought a light to finish up some awesome improvements we have made to our bathroom recently. When that gets all finished I will post the official before and after pictures.
