Memorial Day

It was great to see Mike and Donna! Dan had never been to their house and they've lived there 7 years! We love their home.


There's a forested backyard with feeders for squirrels and birds. We saw a lot of these, plus a raccoon that was pretty entertaining!

The girls loved the movie room. At least, Mia did. Anna didn't like the adults being in a different room.


On Memorial Day it rained most of the morning so we just hung out at the house. After lunch the skies were clear so we headed over to the lake and park. The lake is called Lake Sacagawea and this is a statue of her. We took a picture of it for Becky as Sacagawea had her baby wrapped.


A group of people sent up balloons to remember fallen soldiers. I was a little late with the camera. See the specks? Those are the balloons. What a great idea!


We got to watch a mama duck lead her babies around.


We also got to feed the ducks!


Later the girls played on the playground for a long time and then we went back to the house. On the way we went under Squirrel Bridge. Look closely at the picture. It's a little hard to see as I took it through the window glass. It's literally a bridge the city created so that squirrels could cross the street without getting hit all the time!


Back at the house Donna cooked a great paleo dinner for us. Paleo fish sticks! The next morning we left for the Portland airport and home. Great vacation!
