PORTLAND

We came home a day early from the reunion so we could unpack, wash our camping laundry and load the van for Portland for...

THE WEDDING!

The grounds were beautiful as you would expect

Enjoying the beautiful weather and surroundings while waiting for the wedding to start

The groom pacing around. He was so excited but so nervous at the same time

Brothers

Connelly and Cody

Connelly and Savannah

He is her uncle, but they were so close in age they acted and were treated like siblings.

My Honey Bunny

Connelly and Cherie (mother of the groom)

The trees reminded me of the woods in "Twilight". Cody just rolled his eyes at me.

THE RECEPTION

It was outside of Portland near a town called Hillsboro

The Happy Couple

PORTLAND

We got to Portland and stopped at John Luby park where the heaven's opened and angels were singing for Cody

Cody and I split a "Garbage burrito"

Ba-NA-NA

I've only seen these on TV and was pretty excited to see one in real life, lame I know, but I'm from Idaho so every new thing is exciting.

Blue Star donuts

The sun was not cooperating with us

We got one of these and it was Oh-so-delicious!!

We also went to Trader Joe's which is apparently a grocery store. I had no idea and was so surprised when I walked in and the first thing I saw was flowers and banana's.

Late night stop at Big Ass Sandwiches

Our Big Ass Bacon Cheese Fries

Old Town Portland

Cody saw this on some cooking show he had seen and was super excited to see it in real life and I must agree after standing in line at 11 pm at night for a VooDoo donut, Portland is weird!

Golden Bricks

We stopped here on our way home

 

LeGrande, Oregon

I ordered a "Dirty Pig" and a "Polar Bear"

A Fry eating a Fry, ha ha

My sister, bless her soul, watched all 3 of our kids plus her 3 kids from Sunday night to Wednesday night. Did I mention her husband was out of town? I'm really beginning to question her sanity. She randomly sent me pictures of what they were doing.

Playing Pirates

Going for a walk

*I was following Torrey through Portland and ended up running SIX red lights to keep up with him. The last time my mother-in-law tricked me that there was a cop behind me!
*Monday night the girls went to Target (of course) while the men went to Hooter's (of course)
*We went to IKEA and I was finally able to by the cabinet and shelf unit that I have been wanting for months. Thank goodness my brother-in-law drove his truck because it didn't all fit in my van
