I posted some pictures of our adventures here...I have a some pictures I took at the "coast" that I haven't downloaded yet. Maybe tomorrow?? Tomorrow we are venturing into downtown Portland to check out their Science Museum (the one thing all the kids agreed they would be sad if we didn't go do...) and then dinner at Tim's sister's house. Then we head for home, and work, and the last dog days of summer!!! For those of you who have followed my travels through becoming a teacher and had heard I was rejoicing because this is the first year I wouldn't have to move rooms?? Guess what?!?!?! Yes...indeed...I have to move rooms...again...sigh...I sure hope they don't expect me to do much more than pack seeing as I have a walking boot on my foot from two torn ligaments I got when I fell from a stage at WORK...ah, well, it wouldn't be my life if it wasn't unpredictable!!!
I'm off to bed, I have five little girls sleeping in the front room that I'm sure will be up with the sun!! (one last cousin sleep over!!)

Check this out!!
These are actual packages of medicine sold during the pioneer age!! No wonder they didn't have problems with teething or sleeping in those dusty wagons!!!
Check out all the things this medicine supposedly cures!!!!
This is probably a little more realistically how the prairie women felt on their six month (or more!) journey to the West!!
Ready for a long trip!
Caught!!
The end of the Oregon Trail!!
Sarah and Joe posing as pioneers....
Wait...who's that prairie woman???
Bethany done up as a prairie doll...
This is becoming a habit for him....
Happy Birthday Tim!!
Often times Tim ends up home alone on his birthday because it's smack dab in the middle of the summer when the kids and I go galavanting to California....NOT THIS YEAR!!!
Tim got to be surrounded by family for his birthday this year!! What a treat for him!! My honey LOVES to be with people and even more LOVES to be with family so there is no better present for him than to be surrounded by his mom, dad, brother, sister, nieces, nephew, and all of us for his birthday!!
Sarah picked out his cake!! It had Wall-E on it!!
Surrounded by family!!
