Tagging with Daddy so We Can Play!

 Some of the meetings Daddy goes to are close enough for all five of us to tag along and join in the fun as he works hard…and we HAVE FUN!!! We left mid-afternoon Wednesday and arrived in Portland late that night after torrential down pours, accidents and stops for dinner. The kids we eager to wake up as the pool opened at 9am! They were ready to go and swam until we all looked like aging raisins. Later that day we picked up Auntie Traci and had some fun shopping and MORE SWIMMING!!! The kids decided to have a sleep over at Auntie's and I'm determined they didn't get much sleep from the looks on their faces the next morning. 

We visited OMSI Friday morning along with the entire city of Portland as it was their last day of Spring Break. Boy was it crowded! The kids were spent after a couple of hours so off to the next stop and more SWIMMING! The kids are like fish in the water and can't seem to get enough of it. I had a floaty for Myriam but after take one in the pool I bought her the life jacket wings which gave me more peace of mind as she has NO FEAR around water. The girl just loves it! 

Friday night, Auntie was kind enough to watch the kids at the hotel for us as Tim and I went out for dinner with some friends. What a great night with fantastic food too! Saturday morning the kids we ready to once again, SWIM! No surprise there…Daddy was able to come with us before we grabbed a yummy breakfast and headed back north leaving Auntie to rest after a long weekend of play. Thank you Daddy for letting us tag along and have some Portland fun!
