Portland with Mom & Nick

We took a 4 1/2 hour drive north to Portland, Oregon while my mom and Nick were here. It was wet and stormy during most of our trip, so the Portland Children's Museum offered a nice dry place to explore.


Such a good little patient, Quinny is.

Emerson loves Bob The Builder, so seeing Muck "in person" was a treat. He sang and continues to sing, the entire song. Here's the song, according to Em...

"Bob the Builder, Can he fix it? Bob the Builder, if he can (really, not too confident, Bob). Scoop, Muck and Dizzy and Rolly too, Lofty and Wendy join the cwew and drive it with spud, working together to get the job done. Building and fixing is so much fun, working together to get the job done.

It's pretty cute, Emerson always sings a song to fit the activity. When an activity is especially exciting, Em hums the 20th Century Fox Intro song. He's never met a tune he didn't love.

This was taken at a park just down the street from our hotel in Portland. Em was pretty thrilled to be playing with Gaga and Gonka again.
