Slowly but surely, the Oregon adventure

I will let most the pictures speak for themselves. But there are a few things to take note of. The black spider looking thing is a crab, kind of creepy to hold. The corn on the cob Allie is eating, is indeed raw corn, not cooked (she can be impatient). Emma has no fear around the crabs, yes, they were completely alive when she was holding them. The fried food the kids are ravenously eating is calamari. They love squid!

Some of our favorite quotes of the Summer

-Rachel
"Kids, what do you want for dinner?"
-Andrew
"I want any kind of white noodles"
-Emma
"I'm hungry for squid!"


"You know when we say "what did you say" when you want to hear what someone said again .... he says "Pardon me"

- Andrew in a perplexed voice, in reference to a New Zealand kid he met in Oregon.
