CET are 5 years and 7 months old!
The boys made personalized chia pets at school, ha!
they look so little compared to the pic above.
We got the results for one of the charter schools lottery we applied to. We are on the wait list as #19, 31 and 74. This is for 30 kindergarten spots! As you can see even with three try's not a single one got in, it's just THAT unlikely to get into a charter school in Portland! I wasn't holding my breath or anything, I knew it'd be next to impossible, ha!
Like I mentioned before, last weekend was very nice and warm and we were itching to do something new. I caught mention of this park in the neighboring town of Vancouver, Wa. I looked it up and Salmon Creek trail runs right by it which was supposed to be good for biking and walking. We were pleasantly surprised by the gem that is this place. If you are a local you need to put this place on your summer bucket list, it might just become your new favorite spot as well. I have a feeling we'll be here a lot this coming summer!
The trail was fully paved and went on for several miles alongside this beautiful creek (which has some nice spots for wading). The path was perfect for kids since it's flat and wide. And NO cars!
The water was super shallow at the shore.
We didn't do it this time but the pond is stocked with trout so you can fish here as well.
Eli knows how to sunbathe!
Behind this is also a splash pad and playground.
What more could you ask for in a place.
The river was cool though!
So we finally tried the "preschool skate" session they have at the skating rink. The boys kept saying "it's too hard, it's too hard!" Out of the 50 or so other kids, there were maybe two kids who where actually skating, ha! I don't think we'll be trying this again!
Waiting for their lesson to start.
How Eli and I feel about this weather!
