Strawberries

We went strawberry picking this morning with a friend from preschool and his older sister. We went to Sauvie Island and had a blast picking berries, playing with the wagon and the old bus. They also had chickens to pet, a rooster to look at, a pig to look at and a bunny hopping around.

This afternoon Cooper and I made strawberry jam!

Multnomah County Fair

On Sunday the weekend of Memorial Day we took a trip to Fry's Electronics for my mom and we all bought something. Our friend Rosey was visiting us for the day and she came along too. My car went to take the electronics to the home while Sharon's car headed to the Multnomah County Fair. We went to this fair last year, it's free and it is next to the amusement park in Portland, Oaks Park. We looked at all the booths and then let Cooper hit the rides. He did the carpet slide by himself this time! He and Mama also did the Go-Karts.










Covered Bridges

While Nona and Bob were here we took the covered bridge tour in Linn County. This area is
about an hour and a half from Portland. We drove to seven covered bridges, ate snacks and even had Cooper bike around at one. We also checked out the Lebanon dirt racetrack and picked out a Paperbark Maple at a tree farm in Salem.
