Vacouver/Portland Partay!

We had a chance to take a little roadie to Portland for our nephew Bruce's baptism and to visit Brynne's brother A.J. The trip was so much fun! Cade loved spending time with cousins even though he was a little sick throughout the trip.
In the picture below, Bruce is on the upper left. We got to go to his baseball game, we had this fun picnic (the weather was beautiful!), and played games. At the baptism Jon gave a talk and Brynne did a special musical number of "When I am Baptized" on her guitar. It was a very special event and the spirit was SO strong.
Here was the big game of RISK that the boys all look forward to whenever they get together. It went on for over 2 hours!

After staying with the Erickson family we stayed one night with Brynne's brother A.J. We watched a movie, we went to dinner with his friends at a super good Carribean restaurant, and went to the Portland Zoo!

Jon and Cade with the Elephants. Cade loved the animals...especially the black bear and the seals we could see from under the water!

Here are the rest of the pictures of the trip! It was a great time, and we are so grateful we have such wonderful family!

I'm so jealous you guys got to go on a trip! It was fun to see a picture of A.J., I haven't seen him for a long time. We're glad your home safe!

Looks like fun, you guys are always going on cool little trips. My brothers always played Risk too and it would go on for hours. It's been a long time since they did, but it used to be one of their highlights when they were all together. I love the slideshow of pics.

Looks like a fun trip. Cade looks like he is at such a fun age! He is so cute. Fun that you got to see AJ. The cousins look like they were happy to have your for a visit too. So fun!
