OMSI and the Izukas

Last weekend we enjoyed a visit from Michelle and Todd!  It was such a treat to be able to spend some quality time with them and the kids LOVED having them here.  Garrett found out that his Uncle Todd knows a thing or two about Superheros and that made him the best uncle EVER!  It also happened to be the weekend of "Canadian Thanksgiving" and we enjoyed their awesome cooking for our HUGE turkey feast!

We also used their visit as excuse to go check out OMSI.  It is such a fabulous science museum and the kids love it every time we go, so we decided to get an annual membership.  Needless to say, it was as fun as we remembered!

Since we were already downtown we used the opportunity to check out some other Portland icons.  So we had lunch at a food truck pod and shopped for books at Powell's.  It was nice to get out of our Beaverton suburbia and enjoy some of the highlights of Portland!

We have definitely enjoyed the benefit of family visits since moving to Portland.  In the three months we've been here, we've thoroughly enjoyed our time with Christie's family, but have also seen my parents (twice), both my sisters, and my cousin Cameron.  We are blessed.
