Nina

Last Saturday we went to the riverfront in Portland to check out a replica of the ship the Nina....it was pretty neat......

The Niña - Most Historically Accurate Columbus Ship Replica Ever Built The Niña is a replica of the ship on which Columbus sailed across the Atlantic on his three voyages of discovery to the new world beginning in 1492. Columbus sailed the tiny ship over 25,000 miles. That ship was last heard of in 1501, but the new Niña has a different mission. We are a floating museum, and we visit ports all over the United States.

The girls on the Trampoline.....

One of the best things we ever bought is the trampoline.

World War II B-17 Bomber

One of Michaels favorite things are any military type of plane.....The B-17 was at the Hillsboro airport this past weekend....I told him I think we need to save up the $400.00 for a flight for him..... :)

A bird in our bathroom????

This morning I went into our bathroom and a bird started flying around and I thought it was our parakeet.....I couldn't figure out why it kept trying to fly out of the skylight...usually it will land on your shoulder....well.....it wasn't Petey our parakeet...it looked like a chickadee....what....how in the world did it get in the house....I closed the bathroom door so it wouldn't fly out and went around the house to investigate where it could have gotten in....no open windows or doors....it is still a mystery.......I called Michael at work......I told him that he was the "chick"adee magnet....He came home and caught the bird and released the traumatized bird into the "wild".....Petey our parakeet thought that he had a new friend.....
