Playing at the Park

We've been visiting the park across the street from us a lot lately (or when it's dry out at least). Sam just loves to go "side" but it's funny she goes out and only wants to run around for about 5 minutes, then she's done. Sometimes she loves the swings, sometimes she wants down immediately. She loves the slides, but they're so big daddy holds on to her while she goes down.

Cruisin Sherwood

Saturday Josh, Samantha, and I walked up our neighborhood to Snyder park, and then back down the other side to hit up old town Sherwood's 22nd Annual Cruisin Sherwood car show. The fliers said there were more than 550 cars there, and I know we saw a lot, but who knows... they went on forever! There was anything from your average car turned electric, to classic cars from the 20's to everything in between. It was cool just to walk around downtown and then get some Tillamook ice cream from our favorite little donut shot that has everything! (smoothies, juice, donuts, breakfast sandwiches, paninis, ice cream, coffee... ) Then we headed back home after a nice little Saturday afternoon.

I'm not really a car person, but I had some favorites and some fun taking some photos.

A very fast car

What the...?

Welcome to Radiator Springs Everybody!

Love this car... for some reason I was drawn to the Bel airs... there were lots in great condition including this 1956 model

Best paint job by far!

Josh's favorite, a replica 1965 Superperformance Cobra

Not sure why it was there, but loved the vintage look with the skies on the back

Probably my favorite... very pretty GTO

Nice Mercedes... but it had a Viper engine... huh?

Oregon Coast Aquarium

About a week and a half ago we finally made it to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. We told Pat we would take her for her birthday, which is in December, so of course one thing after another came up and we were all too busy to go until now. We decided to go the day after Memorial Day hoping the kids would be back in school and we'd have more room to enjoy. We were mostly right as there really wasn't a ton of people there, although the shark tunnel is where all the kids who were there were hanging out. It was a gorgeous day which made the whole thing even better. Samantha really loved running back and forth looking at all the fish. I didn't get any photos of her smiling face since she really didn't want to look at me, only the fish.

Of course on the way back Josh and I pulled off at a few scenic spots so I could snap some photos... per usual.
