Thanksgiving in Portland

Andy, my younger sister Beth, and I traveled to Portland to spend Thanksgiving with Susan and Chad. Marie flew over and Colleen drove up (2 other sisters) to meet us. Andy and Chad took charge of deep-frying a turkey (experimental first time with this!), and we sisters did the other cooking and baking from scratch - like the good ol' times. :) We had a homemade feast to be proud of!




Beth also got to see the ocean for her first time. That was really priceless - to be able to share that with her. Since it was a first-time experience, we couldn't hold back. We played in the water and ran on the beach and tried to make a sand castle. Then, we headed to the nearest town with numb feet and hungry stomachs to find some authentic seafood. A wild game of Cranium finished off this vacation for us. It was so fun to have that time with these fabulous people!


We stopped by Multnomah Falls to break up the long ride home to Idaho. Look at those "kids" tuckered out in the backseat! :)
