We also went to Bonneville Dam. This dam is located in the Columbia River just east of Portland and provides power to a lot of people. They were releasing a lot of water today and the white water was a pretty neat sight.
Here is Aaron helping the girls look downriver.
"Spot of tea, anyone?" Eve playing tea party in the energy efficient model home at the dam.
Zoe and Eve posing near copper poles insulated by cermic discs. Something to do with electricity?
Feeding rainbow trout at the fish hatchery. Eve, "What's that fish smell?" Zoe, "Fish."
Standing in front of a white sturgeon. Herman, the resident sturgeon, is longer than this model. He's also 70 years old!
In front of Char Burger, a Kellar classic. This was Eve's first visit.
And her first burger from the place!
Yummm!
We also stopped in at Ikea on the way home. Now that Eve is potty trained, she is allowed to play at Smalland, the kid's area. So mom and dad got a 60 minute date at Ikea and the kids got to play. They loved the ball pit until one little kid wet his pants in it. Everyone out! Eeeeek! After Ikea was dinner and play time at Out of this World Pizza and Play, an indoor bounce house, play structure place. It's pretty awesome. Then on to McDonald's and RedBox. Watching Bolt now as a family. Girls almost asleep. What a great day!

Wow, I'm tired just hearing about your day! What a fun time filled with activity! Isn't it fun to explore the places we've always lived around?! Funny how interesting they become as we get older. :)
Hi Stacey! Yes, it was a long day. :) It had been years since I'd been to those places, especially the dam and the fish hatchery. What fun memories it brought back!
