This summer was crazy awesome and there's just too much to blog about, so here's a million pictures to show you what we did and who we did it with.
Mmm, elephant ear at the zoo with the Ogdens.
Cutie-patootie.
Loved the goats in the petting zoo.
In the tub with Jack and Ryan! (I'm sure they'll appreciate this in about 13 years.)
Fun times with the Ogdens!
Happy 7 years! Nothing says 'happy anniversary' like sushi, sake martinis, and Toy Story 3.
Happy 4th of July, Clint and Marla!
Happy 4th of July, Sean, Susan, and Jake!
Reading with Grandpa Bruce.
Mmm, thanks for the ice cream, Grandma Janice! Straight from the factory in Tillamook.
Great times with Grandma and Grandpa Porter!
Faster Grandpa Paul, faster!
Reading with Grandma Julia.
Serious business with bro-in-law, Chris.
Aunts and cousins at the Pittock Mansion.

The whole Abraham family! Welcome to the club, Daniel!
50 is the new 40! Aunt Cindy, Uncle T, and Uncle Phil at the McMenamin's Cornelius Pass pub.
Happy birthday to me! Rummy with my whole family and Papa Haydn's for dessert - perfect!
Playing cards with all my favorite people!
Ben and Clark with cousins Audrey, Isaac, and Violet at the splash park.
This kid loves water!
Seriously loves it!
Serious yumminess with Camp 18 cinnamon rolls as big as your head.
The great sand fiasco of 2010. Clark loves the sand going in, but not going out!
Whole Mack family (Ben's sis) at Silver Falls State Park.
Quite the bunch!

My good friend Stephanie came up from Fresno for a long weekend! We shopped till we dropped, ate yummy food, drank bubbly wine, and watched Dirty Dancing (the movie!) at the Bagdhad (on 35 mm film, no less). This pic pretty much sums up our whole weekend!
Ended the summer with camping at Fort Stevens State Park with the Cibolski's. I love this 'raspberry' action shot.
Three hour bike ride around the park, to the ocean, and through the old battlements. Clark was a trooper!
Pit stop.
Clark decided to rearrange the rocks while we cleaned up camp. What a good boy!
Whew! The Porter B&B is closed for the season and normal posts should return soon. Thanks everyone for the best summer!
