Day 53 - (09/09) Portland, OR ... day 15

The kids were up early and raring to go.  The sound of a pogo stick outside the trailer woke us at 7:30.  

Jacob and Anna went to school.  Donna and Annabelle went on an adventure with Carol and Amy.

The adventure involved a TriMet trip to the Portland Aerial Tram.  They took a bus and a streetcar to get to the tram.  The tram connects the South Waterfront terminal and the Kohler Pavilion on OHSU's main campus.  It rises 500 feet and travels 3,300 feet over I-5.

Annabelle rides the Portland streetcar.


Amy and Donna enjoy the streetcar, too

OK, up we go on the tram


We made it to the top safe and sound!
(You sure get a great view form here.)

Pat watched Erin while mom (Amy) was off playing on the tram.  Dick and Pat installed a lock-set on a bedroom door.

We were treated to a concert after everyone returned home in the afternoon.  Here are the sights, you'll have to imagine the sounds.

Anna on ukulele, Annabelle on harmonica, Erin on thumb

Erin examines how to make noise come from the harmonica.
(And she did it herself a little later)

Erin applauds Anna's strumming


We had a pizza dinner at Tim and Elizabeth's

Tim went to work and Elizabeth had a meeting after dinner.

The rest of the evening was quiet.

  1. Thanks for the last picture. It was good to see the whole family together. I guess I am out of date. Who is Lucy?
