We took Allison to the big city (Portland) this weekend. We realized it was the first time she's been to downtown Portland and we certainly could have planned to be there longer and do a few more fun things. Regardless we had a great time. We went to Portland to see 'If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,' a performance by the Oregon Children's Theatre. We managed to get there early enough to go for a walk. I vaguely remembered an ice cream place so we wandered in that direction since it was a beautiful and warm day.
Sure enough we found ice cream. Apparently it was COLD when these two started to eat it!
Silly girl.
This had to have been my favorite sight in all of Portland. A grown man with an owl backpack. It does attract some attention!
Posing with the poster after the play. It was after nap time so Allison was a bit tired! She really enjoyed the play, saying she wanted to watch it again when it is was over. However, she is one intense little girl. She sat through the play completely mesmerized even though it was supposed to be humorous. You wouldn't know it was funny by the look on her face. We really enjoyed the experience and plan to be back for more performances next year, and plan to make a day of it in Portland.

That looks like fun! I looked up the Oregon Children's Theater website and saw that they're doing Pinkalicious around Rachel's B-day! We should meet up.
Yes, we are planning to go to Pinkalicious in the fall, we would love to meet up! I'll have to check with you on Facebook - I was planning to pre-order tickets so we should talk dates!!
Oh, and what I didn't mention is I think I have Aaron to thank for the ice cream place...I vaguely remember a trip to Portland with he and Will and Reid for Warren Miller or something?
Love the pic of Allison with the spoon in her mouth. :)
