Over Spring Break, we took a little family vacation to the Portland/Vancouver area. Our first stop was Multnomah Falls, one of my most favorite places. We hiked around for close to 2 hours and Andrew had a blast. He kept telling us thank you for letting him hike and for looking at the beautiful waterfall. His hiking stick came in handy and we had to stop at every interesting tree, branch or rock that we saw. Abigail was happy to be in the front pack and squealed whenever she got excited.













Happy birthday Andrew! On April 3rd Andrew turned 4 years old and we celebrated with a trip to the Portland Zoo. We had quite the group with the Dukes family, Olivia and the kids, Uncle Nick and Aunt Claire. One of Andrew's favorite things was feeding the larakeet birds. We also loved the African section with the elephants, zebras, giraffe and hippos. For all of the April birthdays, we had cupcakes at lunch and Andrew got to spend his special zoo money from Chad, Suzie, Jacob and Nick at the Zoo store.












After our trip to the zoo, we went back to the Dukes' house and had more birthday treats. It's hard to believe our little boy is 4 years old!

Before heading back to Spokane, we made one last stop in Gresham for another birthday celebration. Andrew and Joey received new superhero capes from grandma Joy. They were a hit!
