This month was focused on family as we traveled to Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Our journey began with a week in Portland where we were able to enjoy some play time in the park with Aaron, Eden, Lavi and Mayim.
Ava and I payed a visit to Grandma Chari for some Tillamook County fun at the Blue Heron Cheese Company.
Next we welcomed Darrin's brother Anthony and family for a short and sweet rendezvous. We spent the majority of our first day exploring Washington Park. Ava was super happy to get to see her cousins again.
Next we headed west to Cannon Beach for some s'mores, sandcastles and starfish at the sea. We all had a lovely time at the Surfsand Resort.
After one short night, we headed north to Seattle to visit with aunt Shirley, aunt Freda, cousin Lisa and her family. Our time together was much too short but it was really wonderful to see everyone.
Ava and I then flew east to Idaho to see Grandpa Dale, Grandma Diana, Uncle Mark, Heather and Hunter. We started our day off with breakfast at the Wagon Wheel ... homemade biscuits and gravy!!!
It was then time to take a ride on the St. Mary's River. Everyone enjoyed baby's first boat ride.
After a warm bubble bath, Ava enjoyed some quality time with Grandpa's animals. Once again, the visit was way too short but Grandpa was thrilled to be able to watch her take her first long series of steps on the soft carpet in his front room.
