Our creative side

Enjoying some painting recently. Kai usually prefers the left hand, but this time he used the right. Not that it matters--the paintings look about the same either way. He's getting ready for a new art class that starts in a couple weeks. Don't ask me where the Hello Kitty apron came from!

Nike Employee Store

We were able to visit the Nike employee store lately. The Tiger Woods' golf section had limited activity. It felt as if people purposefully were walking around it, willing to suffer through aisle congestion to avoid that area as if it may contain communicable diseases.

Oregon's newest state park

We enjoyed some fresh air on Sunday. Kai mostly loved following the bigger kids around, but he was in a good mood and gave us some nice smiles.

Zoo Lights

Kai was ecstatic to check out the ZooLights. We had a bit of trouble keeping him out of the displays. Never fun when you hear the other parents tell their kids, "just because he is doing it doesn't mean you can too!"

Boys day off

Had a day off last Wednesday--a perfect day to hit the slopes and work up some appetite for turkey.

OMSI

Kai recently enjoyed a trip to OMSI. Air-powered rockets, laser lights, and a submarine equal good fun.
