Last week we went to Portland's Rose Festival. We promised the little girls a few rides and elephant ears. Along the way, we got some fresh squeezed lemonade and cotton candy, too. The weather was mild all day, so that meant we needed to take some coats for later in the evening when it got chilly.
We missed the fireworks, at the opening 2 weeks earlier, because I had a lousy chest cold and was completely worn out from coughing all day at work. The rain convinced me that I didn't want to go. Rain didn't stop me last year.
The warm up ride was a turn on the carousel. They both liked it a lot.
Sienna's leery of anything she thinks might be scary. This was her, "I'm not having fun, but I really am" face.
The next ride was secretly a test to see if she'll have any fun at all at Disneyland next week. She doesn't know she's going with me and Camille. I don't think we'll tell her until we get to the airport. She's a lot like her mother, she'll make herself sick worrying about every tiny detail and drive us crazy with questions. It'll be my entertainment on the plane, to answer 1000 questions.
She passed the test. Her first word when it came to a stop was, again!
Hard to get a picture where someone wasn't moving. I had to settle for this one of the elephant ear eaters. By now, it was after 9 and the band in the background was quite loud. The ships were in and the band was all Navy personnel. They sounded great.
Camille and I went on the Zipper. Each time I go on it, I think this'll be the year it's no fun any more, but it was still great!
Next year, Fireworks.
