Perfect Oregon weather for some fun in downtown Beaverton at the annual Ten Tiny Dances.
We were entertained with dances from different cultures and styles.

Forestry Center
The time my mother stayed with us was probably the hottest two weeks of the summer. We didn’t get out much, but did go to the World Forestry Center. It was the first time for us. They had a exhibition of Ansel Adams photography that my mother and I were interested in seeing. Jasmine let me glance at a few and then she and I were off to explore.
There is a large atrium with lots of exhibits on forests and the animals that live in them. There was also a mock white water rafting photo opportunity Jasmine had fun with.
Grandma Carolyn’s Visit
My mom came out for her summer visit. While Jeff and Jasmine were in Delaware my mom kept me company. Although I was working for much of the time, she made sure to have dinner ready for me. She also passed the time watching the Wimbledon tennis tournament. But owing to the time difference between England and Oregon, she had to get up at 5 AM every morning. She’s a trooper when it comes to tennis.
Once Jeff and Jasmine got back we were off to the restaurants and the video games at John’s Incredible Pizza.
Delaware Vacation: Departure
Our time in Delaware has come to an end. Time to head back to the West coast. It was wonderful week of family, fun and food.
Delaware Vacation: Friday – Bouncing
Well we had ambitious plans to go to the local zoo, but it was just too darn hot. So instead we went to a trampoline extravaganza. It was a blast.
For dinner we had fried chicken and fixings. I should mention Jasmine seemed to be going through a ravenous growth spurt this week, because tonight she ate two burgers plus two pieces of chicken. Sorry vegetables, your day will come soon.
