One Last Time!

Me and the kids went with my mom to visit my sisters in Portland. Trina is moving to California soon and so we wanted to go see them one last time before they move. Stephanie just moved there so we are excited to have her close. We ended up staying several days more so that Trina and her husband could go look at houses in California. We partied hard, as we always do when we go to Portland.
We started out at Trina's for a couple of days, we went swimming on the river, ate yummy food, and went to the Children's Museum.Then we stayed with Stephanie; we hung out and relaxed, went to a way cool market (where I got the cutest bag), ate more yummy food, and went to church.
Then we headed back to Trina's while she was gone. We watched the kids and went to an amusement park. The amusement park was way entertaining for me and my mom. Ella would go on any ride if it was with Talia. She was not able to go on every ride that her older cousin could, so we had to strap her in her stroller while Talia went on her rides. The whole time Ella would cry for her, it was funny at first but then it got really annoying. Ella went on some pretty wild rides though, she was barely tall enough for a couple and so it was quite entertaining. She first went on a huge slide and her face was total fear while coming down but she kept wanting to go on it. Then they went on a drop ride, she totally freaked out. She was trying to get out of her seat, luckily she was strapped in. The funniest of all was the roller coaster though. She was so scared but she didn't cry. My mom and me almost peaed our pants, no joke, I really almost did. That girl will do anything with her cousins. There were also some kiddie rides that Talia was too big for, Ella refused to go on them without her cousins. Finally towards the end she did go on a few of the rides and realized that rides could be fun and not just scary.

It was so pretty on the river and the kids had lots of fun.
I know its blurry but I wanted to remember the roller coaster.

The drop ride, she started to cry as it went up but then she freaked when it dropped her.

Ella looks so tiny for some of the rides! I need to come visit you sometime since we live so much closer now. One of these days I'll come by and visit you in Tri-cities.

Such a fun trip! It will be so sad when Trina leaves. Maybe Ross and Jana will end up closer so Ella can have some cousins to play with. Stephanie's cousin contribution may take a while before they can play =-)

Sounds fun! Would be nice to be taking Trina'a place, but highly unlikely!
