Oregon!

Me and Addie got a brake from my dad( thank god ... just joking) because we went to Aunt Amy’s Sister’s house, and her two kids, Beck and Anja. it was fun to be around other kids.  We played corn hole and Beck and I crushed the girls at it. When we went to take a swim it was fun we all played a little rough and got slammed in to each other. Before we left to go home Addie lost her bracelet and luckily Anja found it. we went to the reptile rehabilitation and that was fun to see different types of birds and I go to see the with the biggest wing span.The next day we had a picnic diner with my uncle Scott, John and aunt Amy and granny. I tried to take a little swim in the cold water.We had fun playing games and I tried to play football with my dad and uncle John and we wanted to take a picture so  my dad had the idea to have a human pyramid that was fun,(my back hurt after that lol). At the end we played a little family frisbee and are high score for catch and release is 15.  I am ok to leave Boise it was a cool place and I get to go back to see my uncle and aunt but besides that I am excited to be in Oregon we got to the house we are staying at and it is a nice little house. -Harry

Just to explain the pics; this is our picnic spot along the river where Wallace Stegner’s ‘Angle of Repose’ was written, and some birds fro our visit to the raptor rehabilitation center.

    Oregon! You made it!! Great photos, you’ve seen some beautiful places. I’m sure you have many more photos and I look forward to seeing them. How many miles have you guys logged so far?

    Dale thinks there is a famous donut shop in Oregon. He thinks you should find it. It might be in Portland.......

    Ah! Oregon! Your Boise trip sounded fantastic - the reptile rehabilitation center sounds fascinating. I am wondering what the bird with the biggest wing span was...

    I hope it's not too hot in Oregon now; can't wait to see pics of the little house you are staying in. I really don't have to say this, but hope you all get a chance to visit Powell's :)

    I think those cage bars are too wide for that raptor. You guys are lucky you still have all your eyeballs. Also, hugs from Kosovo!

    Hope you enjoyed that IPA Harry!? I have bad/boring memories of trying to get through Angle of Repose in high school. The scenery and human pyramid are fantastic though!

    Harry - your Mom would be proud of your beer choice... in a few years!

    Great pics - your uncles and Dad look nothing alike.

Last day in Tennessee

It was a good day today. We went go to see an re-enactment of Patience Cooper’s colonial life at Sycamore Shoals, where the frontier started (the signing of the Transylvania Treaty, giving the US 3 million more acres). It was very fun 😁. Then we put some of moms ashes in Tennessee next to her dad and grandfather. We went and had lunch in a restaurant called “The Southern Restaurant”. The food was great, but if you ever go down south to eat get tea not sweet tea. It is way too sweet. We later went swimming in a salt pool. That was fun. After that we got to celebrate my moms life in my grandma’s church. It was sad but we know that she would be happy we did it. Tomorrow we are going back on the road and it is going to be a long trip, 9 hour car ride. Much hasn’t happened yet but it has still been a slow start to the trip. But I know as we go on the adventure will increase. -Harry

St.Louis to Kansas

Image
Now for those up close pictures! At 10:30 in the morning we were waiting in line for the tram up the St.Louis Gateway Arch. When the line was over we were put in a very small tram for a 4 minute ride up to the top. I would definitely NOT recommend this if you are claustrophobic or afraid of heights. Because, at the top of the arch you are 630 feet above ground, this is the tallest man made building in the U.S, and you are filled in a small narrow room with a load of other tourists, like yourself, taking pictures and crowding the windows. But if you are fine with all this, and you manage to get to the windows, the view is amazing. You can also see very clearly the court where the Dread Scott Case was debated. Then you go back down in a 3 minute ride. After our ride down we took more pictures. Then we drove to Salina, Kansas, and past the school where Brown vs the Board of Education took place. Salina is in the middle of nowhere and the begging of the plains outside that will apparently ...

2 days in Steamboat

Image
After we left Denver and Granny Barb’s house (thanks,Barb!) we headed up to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. On the way we stopped in Winter Park to ride the alpine slide. Steamboat was fun. We stayed with Dad’s friends Bruce and Shelby in their beautiful home on the mountain. We planned a bike ride along the river but before we left, I fell off my bike and scraped my elbow and my knee. it hurt at first but know it is ok. I love Steamboat, it was fun I want to live there because it was a beautiful little place. There was a place down town that sold fossils and I did not know that they sold fossils. It was like a museum. We also rode a mountain coaster, it’s like the alpine slide but faster and more like a mini- roller coaster. Another hike on Monday up Fish Creek Falls, then a quick stop at the World Footbag Association to see Bruce, Peter and Randy. If you want to get better at foot skills for soccer or just for fun, you should try kicking a footbag. It is actually very fun to try it. ...
