Steve's oldest brother's family lives in Corvallis, just 1.5 hours south of my family. This is a great setup because it allows us some "cousin time" when we are in Oregon and frankly, we wouldn't be able to see them more than our Barlow Reunions every two years. We went down twice, and they came up twice. In Portland (sadly there are not photos), we swam, visited OMSI and swam some more. The day that Robyn came up with Sage to tend my kids, they spend 5 hours (?) in the pool.
Even though our kids only see each other a couple of days a year, it is amazing to see the bond that they have. They know that they are family and that is
special.
In no particular order, we went to the "Penny Carnival" in 100+ degrees,
Played in the fountains and had lunch at a local bakery,
Had a last-minute pizza picnic in the front yard with Jamba Juice and the slip 'n slide,
And goodbyes are always the worst part...
