Paddle Down to Portland

This weekend we took the kids and headed down to Portland to stay with our friends the Barners. While we were there we also got to attend a fantastic performance put on by my aunt and uncle's Stake, a production of "A Christmas Carol." On Sunday night my aunt Tina hosted an impromptu Thanksgiving dinner to celebrate all the family that was there over the weekend. We had such a great time! It was a wonderful visit.
This is Erica on the way down. She kept fussing, being tired of her car seat, so Heidi plugged her into her Ipod. It worked like a miracle. What can I say, I have techie kids....

While we were in town we visited the Portland Temple and got some great pictures of the kids.
This one cracks me up, it is so typical Erica!!



I foresee a budding romance....


The Barner Family
Paul and Michele', with Gabrielle, Olivia and Jack



Our crazy crew!



The kids are in front of the reflecting pond. It is such a beautiful temple!




Erica got a foot and her pant leg wet, of course.
