Hello Friends!
It's me, Harriet, writing this week, since Ben begged off for the week. It's been another hot week in Oregon, but we've been having a great time with our daughter and her family, especially those two sweet little boys! Rebecca and Tim were invited to stay at my cousin's home on a farm near Harrisburg, Oregon, and they are very much enjoying their time there. We kind of like it there, too. Free power, water and sewer hookup for our trailer, parked under the shade of a big old tree, with about an acre of beautiful green grass for our dogs to enjoy!
Sam and Zoey are enjoying the attention of the two little boys ... most of the time. The boys have also been getting their faces washed fairly regularly! I'm amazed at the agility of these guys. Up and down stairs, in and out of our trailer, over the sofa onto our bed! We even caught Aaron up in the driver's seat of our truck one time, happy as a clam! David got a chance to use my aunt and uncle's swimming pool, and they both had a chance to feed the cows! What fun!
Yesterday, Rebecca and I took the boys to the Portland Zoo. I haven't been there for years, and didn't remember all the hills and ups and downs involved at this zoo! But it sure was fun (including the ride in the shuttle back up to the top of the hill due to Rebecca's very sore knee!) We got to see the new baby elephant, Lily. Her mom gave her a shower bath, then led her over to the dirt where she showered her with a dust bath! Perfect elephant grooming!!
David was a bit hesitant to stand in front of the gift store bear, but got brave and did it for a photo op! We also saw a hippo up close and personal!
Here are the boys watching as it swims by. Or maybe walking by! Hard to tell!
We have been in Salem for a few days for a few more doctor appointments, and will then be going back to Eugene for a couple of weeks. We hope to see some of you in the Eugene area that we missed when we were there last week.
By the way, Ben celebrated yet another birthday last week. My sister and brother, Ben's brother and a sister-in-law celebrated with us at our favorite Italian restaurant, Mazzi's. A good time was had by all!
More photos are in our July 2013 Picasa album, including some of our church fellowship gathering which our family used to be a part of when we lived in Salem.
Until next week, or whenever....
Your Baja friends in Oregon,
Harriet, Ben, Sam & Zoey
