We went for a lovely Sunday morning bike ride in the Columbia River Gorge. Emma had a leisurely ride in her bike stroller, reading books and eating snacks while taking in the scenery. Ken, on the other hand, got an extra workout toting Emma behind his bike. It was a good workout for me as well, but that's just because it was one of the first bike rides I have taken for the year.
We helped Dad celebrate Father's Day today by taking him to the Glendoveer golf course to hit some balls on the driving range. Since that is not really "fun" for a 3 year old, Emma and I went for a walk around the golf course's trail. They had some really big trees, and Emma's inner monkey came out when she started scaling some of the trees. It appears we have a climber on our hands.
Emma enjoyed cooling off (although the clouds were more abundant than sun on this particular day) in the water spray area at Blue Lake Park. We had a lovely day, have a picnic in the park with our friends Gen and Elias too. Great fun!
The kids warmed up to the rides pretty quickly, and enjoyed the multiple transportation options the park had to offer...planes, bikes and automobiles.
We headed out to the Multnomah County Fair, which just happened to be located right next to Oaks Amusement park. Ken and Jimmy were helping the kids feel comfortable, but I think they secretly really enjoyed the kiddie rides!
The Bagdad movie theater was having a 20th anniversary celebration today. Emma enjoyed the balloon creations that were created for her, and we got to enjoy a free showing of "Back to the Future".
