Goat, Boats, Guns, and Good friends

September has come and gone. Time for a recap... Our friends Eric and Kim included a stop in Portland on their recent OR/CA coast vacation, so the twins got to enjoy dinner and Salt and Straw with them. Nothing says Fall like pumpkin pie goat cheese ice cream! 

Click here for photos from a recent long weekend trip Drew and Grace made to Dallas with Grace's dad and sisters to visit family. Their trip included mechanical bull rides, a trip to the gun range, and some great BBQ... when in Texas! 

Click here for a few photos from anniversary celebrations, beach trips, and long walks. And click here to see our neighborhood goats doing their thing in Chestnut Hill.  And here for some photos and video clips of Drew's off-shore delivery of a racing sailboat from Port Angeles, WA, back to Portland. 

Chesapeake Week with Jake

Jake and Elli spent the later part of August with us in Philadelphia. Click here for photos from our time together, which included sailing on the Chesapeake, hiking in the Wissahickon, and a couple of days exploring Washington D.C.  We're feeling a little crabby about their visit being over. 

Meanwhile out west, Emily, Drew and Grace spent Labor Day weekend with friends in the other Washington. Click here for photos from their long weekend in Lake Chelan. The album also includes miscellaneous photos from some of the kids' other August adventures - weddings, concerts, etc... Summer went too fast.
