Portland

In June we took a trip to Portland.  The plane ride was, hmmmm, how do I put this nicely?  It was long.  C + P are actually very good travelers.  But 7 hours on an airplane with two lap babies is a little ridiculous.  We should have bought an extra seat.  Lesson learned.

We stayed with Paul's sister and brother in law and enjoyed the cool, rainy weather (50's and 60's!!).  

We went for walks...

 and enjoyed the GREEN scenery and time with Auntie Mae and Grandpa.

 Does anyone in Texas remember what GREEN grass looks like?

 Playing in the papasan chair was the favorite activity around the house

 Sunday lunch with dad and grandpa was pretty good too!

 We love Aunt Mae so much!

Hello, please meet Cy's belly.

 Presley's favorite face these days

 We spent one day out at Cannon beach.  Yes, it is raining and yes it was 50 degrees.  Do you know what Paul said?  "This is perfect beach weather!"  Sigh.  Only in Oregon.

 The boys LOVED the beach and could have cared less that it was cold and rainy.  They ran/fell into the water and were fascinated by the sand.

 Even mom doesn't mind the cold and rain if it is fun for these two!

 At some point they both discovered the piano and spent quite a bit of time playing on it.

 Cy was very meticulous in choosing which key he wanted to play and hitting each note separately. (he was pretty good!)  Presley was more into banging as many keys as possible.

 Lessons with Grandpa.

Fun video of the boys out at lunch.  They're so scary!  haha.
