Labor Day Weekend 9/1/13

Spider swing!




Hike along the coastal trail. 



Cousin love



Little shroom






Yin and Yang (isn't the slug life cycle a beautiful thing?)






Wild blackberries near the beach


Spider webs


This piece of driftwood reminded me of the Donnie Darko bunny





Not the best picture, but here are the kids on top of the car as it drives through a giant redwood tree.

Adventures with Gramma and Grampa

The Columbia River Gorge is one of our all time favorite spots.  So we took Mike's parents to the Bonneville Dam and then on a hike to one of our best loved places.  

Here is Gramma with Vessel and Jacob inside some kind of military defense shelter at the dam.  

 At Eagle Creek, we had a fun time locating several mossy things.  Here is a mossy drinking fountain/water spout. 


Mossy fire-pit


 The mossiest picnic table in Oregon.  Maybe even the United States!

A really mossy boulder. 


 We took Mike's parents on a hike to Punchbowl Falls, one of the most beautiful hikes in the gorge.

How would it be to get toted around in a back pack and fall asleep from the lull of Daddy's constant movement?


After our hike we stopped off in Portland and got some grub at a food cart called Fiji Indian Curry.  I just love the food carts in Portland.  And check out these cute little monsters.  Haven is mad because he doesn't want to share a bench with Jacob (they are arch nemesis, after all) and the other two are all smiles at least.  Vessel's face cracks me up.
