We just found another reason that Portland is a pretty darn cool place to live. Today, the city closed 6 miles of streets in NE Portland to cars, and opened them up to all modes of non-motorized transportation. It was quite the site to see thousands of families biking through the streets. There were a couple of parks along the route that had music, food, and lots of playful, happy kids. Emma and Cash were certainly two of those happy kids toddling around the park, and climbing all over the playground. Emma also decided she could not possibly pass up a quick dip in the swimming fountain at Alberta Park. Luckily, I had a change of clothes along, so she didn't have to ride home all soggy. Of course, I did manage to forget the camera, so the only photos of this wonderful day are in the driveway when we arrived back home. Thanks Shelly and Todd, for taking us along for the ride today.
