We left July 1 for Oregon. We drove straight through to get there. 16 hours. The kids did great. There were 40 people staying at the farmhouse this year. We were celebrating Grandma Monte's 85th birthday.
The first day in Oregon we went to Portland. Ryan's family and Grandma and Grandpa came with us. We went to VooDoo donuts first. It was ok. Then we went to the International Rose Test Garden. It was amazing. Such beautiful flowers everywhere. Seth and Ruby really got into it and took our phones around to take pictures of all the flowers. They actually got some pretty good ones. After the rose garden we split up and just our family went to the Nike Store since it's based in Portland. And then we rode the Arial Tram that connects two parts of the hospital. The kids thought it was pretty cool.
Sunday we went to church and celebrated Grandma's birthday. We had cake and took pictures in our matching Barnhart Family Reunion shirts. That night my mom and dad took pictures by the creek on the farm. We got some really great ones. Danny and the other kids went fishing every day. And we picked blueberries all the time. It's amazing how many of those blueberries you can eat every day when you don't have to pay for them!
Monday was 4th of July. We drove to Lincoln City. We went to the 4th of July parade. That was fun. Then we went over to the beach and played for a while. We did fireworks in the backyard. Danny and Aaron helped Grandpa with tons of fireworks. The museum was doing big fireworks too so we could watch those at the same time.
Tuesday we went back to Portland and rode a ferry up and down the river. Wednesday we went to the indoor waterslides. Aaron really wanted to go to the aviation museum so he talked Grandpa into taking him halfway through the day.
