Maybe I should have made this into multiple posts also... we did a lot of stuff in one day. First off, we stayed at my Aunt Sonja's house who was nice enough to let us all stay there for two nights when there was a pretty full house the second night. I think all the kids had a lot of fun though getting to meet/see each other. After the trip my mom and I were talking on the car ride and really feel like we wish we would have seen the Calls more growing up; they were so nice and even if it was short, it was great. So, thanks to Aunt Sonja and Uncle Alan!!!
They have a wonderful chair that gives you an awesome massage. It even plays some music for the ultimate relaxation experience. I love Audrey and Allie's "sleeping" pictures in the chair.
We headed to Washington Park in Portland, Oregon and I got to hand out with my cute nieces and nephew that I don't get to see very much. That was really priceless. Jack has the sweetest smile and attitude. He is a really good kid; you can literally see it in his eyes. I love this picture of him at the picnic table.
Ha! This is a great one, let me explain... Jack was being very helpful and trying to show Isaac how to look at the camera when someone is taking a picture of you. So when Jack started to try and turn Isaac's head toward the camera, Isaac decided that this must be some kind of game or something and started pushing back on Jack's head. I love it, it makes me laugh when I look at it.
At the Children's Museum they had an alligator with some big toothbrushes you could clean his teeth with. Isaac loves toothbrushes, so he was really excited to see those suckers!
Audrey and Allie had the chance to paint their dad's face which they loved.
They also had a restaurant and cafe where Allie and Audrey served mom, Annie, and me some great food.
Audrey and Isaac working the lights on the stage. Jack playing with some fun trains.
Jack in the construction zone with some tools. Isaac hang out there a little but kept escaping with tools and running to the tooth brushing alligator!
There was a beautiful rose garden in Washington Park. I have never seen so many colors and varieties of roses. I think my favorites were the orange and pink and yellow and pink roses.
Audrey took this picture of Isaac asleep on Grandma's shoulder.

After the rose garden we went to a fun park where the kids played for a little bit.
Jayden and Emma were trying to help me get some pictures of Isaac, I thought they were super cute and great helpers. Jayden probably knows a thing or two about taking pictures because her mom is an amazing photographer.

What a fun day! I hope people made it through all those pictures, I know that was a longer one for me. I decided I'll have to do two parts because I remembered that I have some great videos that I want to share also... stay tuned for more moments from Oregon.
