Our Snowy Days

The week before Thanksgiving, we flew to Hood River OR to visit our family. Our nephew Benjamin, Brother n law Paul and his beautiful wife Stephanie. This was Gavin's first time flying on the plane. For being the first timer, he did really great! My husband and I were very nervous, but no, our little guy did awesome! He was just amaze of the noise from the plane while taking off and landing. He thought flying thru the clouds was amazing (at least the expression that I got from his face). When we were landing in Portland, the view from the top was BEAUTIFUL! The trees were so colorful and the grass was so green! I wish we had that back at home. It snowed and rained that day. It rained every day we were there. But it didn't stop us from touring. Haha! When our family picked us up from the airport, we stopped at several places and headed to their home. The scenery and drive was nice! I was speechless with all the colors on the trees and how the snow sits on the branches. We went to dinner that night and went bk home to get some rest. The next few days was visiting Multnomah Falls, drove up to Portland visit the Omsi Children's Museum, had dinner with our family, drove up to Mt.Hood and went on the Polar Express train. It was just like the movie! Gingerbread cookies, hot chocolate and greeted by Santa and his elves. And of course, we sat and visit with our new nephew. He is so cute! I miss him already! My sister n law told us it's really nice in the summer in Oregeon. The weather is great and scenery is much more beautiful. July is the best time to visit. Well, we might see them then again! We just fell in LOVE with the town! My husband said right before we landed from seeing thru the window that he wanted to move to Portland! Really! That was him saying it not me! Haha! When we arrived to their home, the snow was already melting down. So the day we got there it was snowing and the day we left it was snowing! But, we were so happy that we got to see snow and especially for Gavin! We wanted him to experience snow since we don't get it in Texas. He had so much fun playing in the snow. We were sad to leave. I'm posting some of my favorites pictures from the trip! Hope you enjoyed them as much I enjoyed taking them!


Gavin was so excited to get on the plane!

He also loved the snacks they provided on the plane. He was listening to his itouch also thats why you see headphones on him.
