"Choo, Choo", and Rose Gardens

Always fun to splash in the Fountains
Red Roses

Smelling the Pink Roses
Since our wonderful Grandparents babysat so we could go to Coldplay, we got to stay in Portland and spend Satirday exploring Portland more. Although it seems I had been to Portland quite a bit over the Spring and Summer, Ryan was usually stuck back at home working so it was fun to have him with us this time. We visited one of my favorite spots in Portland, Washington Park. Sadie was dying to ride the "choo, choo" around the park and zoo, so we started with that. Then we went to the Rose Gardens. It was the first time we had ever gone when the roses were in bloom. They were soooo beautiful. The kids had a fun time running around , until Sadie tripped and fell into a rose bush. She was surprisingly tough and wanted to pose for her picture to document her "owie."




Us in front of the red roses again...there were many other beautiful colors, but Connor only wanted to pose in front of the red ones. I guess they are the more "manly" roses???

The Portland Rose Garden is one of my favorite places. The roses are so beautiful. I'm glad Sadie was ok. Those thorns are not so fun.
