Portland: July 17-19, 2015

Drove to Portland after the IDEA conference.  Picked Otis up from his summer camp.  He showed me the "ocean" the kids had made during splash time.

Had dinner with Lawanda and Otis at a tamale shop near her house.  Excellent tamales!  Especially excellent because there's a gelato shop next door where we had dessert.

Spent Saturday at Skyler and Destiny's house in Vancouver, across the Columbia from Portland.  Otis and I fed bread to geese at the neighborhood park.  One of them hissed at us when we got too close!

Took Alauna and Otis to an indoor playground.  We arrived around 4:30 p.m. and they were the last ones to leave when they turned out the lights at 8 p.m.  As you can see, Otis and Alauna insisted I join them at the top of the slide. 

Alauna, Destiny, and Otis, right before I took Otis back to Lawanda's.  Yes, it was light out until nearly 10 p.m.!
