GO BEAVERS.

I married into a family that is "orange," I mean is orange in spirit of the Oregon State Beavers. Tim's Dad (an OSU Alumni) every year gets season tickets to the football games. This year Tim and I left Athen with Grandma and cheered hard with Dad & brother Jonathan at the OSU vs. Arizona game.

Family Reunion.

The Harris family had a reunion the first week of August. We spent three days in Portland and three days on the coast. We had so much fun going to the Washington County Fair, BBQing at Grandma & Grandpa's, renting a house in Gearhart, going to museums & aquariums, riding the merry-go-round....

Flying Kites, ours was an Optimus Prime kite...

Swimming in the Ocean...

Going Bowling...

And going to the Hillsboro Farmers Market. They had lots of good produce & fun activities for the kids...

We ended our trip with a quick visit to Tacoma where we picked up a free piano, bookshelves, & toy chests, and celebrated Grandpa Dorman's birthday.

After a long week & mounds of fun Athen was pooped and crashed hard on our drive home. Two days following our return he slept 13 hours at night and took 3-4 hour naps during the day.
