rose garden

it's rose festival time here in pdx, and
the rose garden is well on it's way to being
in full bloom...jackson loved tearing around
the place and we all had fun chasing after
him and checking out the gorgeous flowers.

bloom lake

we did a fun hike to bloom lake this weekend.
the lake itself was nothing to write home about,
and actually pretty dingy and anticlimactic...
but the hike itself was really pretty-
with awesome foliage and gorgeous wildflowers.



everyone loves hikes!


?!!! this looks more like a marshy bog than a lake?!

hmmm...not quite the lake we were expecting


checking out the stream

sushi date

nana and capn took us out for a fancy
dinner at a new sushi place, wassabi.
the food was really good and jackson loved
practicing his kissing skills with nana.

1st swim

we took jackie for his very 1st swim
at nana and capn's hotel. he was a little
worried at first, but quickly warmed up to
the idea and was loving it!
