Our trip to Portland began on Friday, July 27 when we headed north to Rob and Katie's (aka Hotel Benner-Crystal). Moose put in some long days prior to our trip and we were able to leave Muscatine mid-afternoon. The boys were excellent van riders and enjoyed a continuous loop of 2 Batman episodes (Superheroes are the current craze.) The girls haven't quite found their comfort zone in the van and thus were not happy riders. When we arrived the kiddos went to bed and we enjoyed the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics and some refreshing beverages.

The plane ride actually went pretty well. Moose and I each had our moments with the girls but luckily we had understanding passengers near us. Jack and Will charmed the women around them and Jack may be exchanging Christmas cards with a passenger named Michelle:)

On Saturday, July 28 we embarked on our westward adventure to visit Elizabeth and Brett. To ensure that everyone was accounted for, we had flying partners. Uncle Bear and Jack, Aunt Katie and Will, Nancy and Sydnee, and Moose and Allison.
