We have been pretty busy lately despite trying to lay low before our European adventure.\u00a0 We headed up to Portland for the weekend, last weekend.\u00a0 On Friday, we went to a Timbers game and stayed with my Aunt and Uncle.\u00a0 They have a very nice place right on the river which was very convenient.\u00a0 We also had a very nice visit with them.\u00a0 On Saturday we briefly caught up with Kas and Peter, then headed to Chris and Channa’s.\u00a0 We stayed with them, then headed to the Bridge pedal Sunday morning.\u00a0 The bridge pedal is a 35 mile bike ride where you get to ride over 11 bridges in Portland.\u00a0 It was very crowded, but fun for the most part.\u00a0 We made it over 10 but skipped the most popular one because it was so crowded.\u00a0 This picture was from the first and southern most bridge.<\/p>\n

This next picture was from the Fremont bridge which is normally closed to bicycles.\u00a0 Aunt Sharon and Uncle Jim’s condo is just above Emily’s left ear.<\/p>\n

Mid-week last we had a plumbing problem and an abscess show up on Oval about the same time.\u00a0 A few hours of work got the plumbing problem fixed and a couple of trips to the vet took care of the abscess.<\/p>\n

On Thursday night, we bottled our second beer, Mok’s Porter, named after our second favourite pub in Ireland.\u00a0 Hope it turns out good!<\/p>\n

Emily headed to the coast on Friday and bought some Tuna, fresh off a fishing boat, at the dock.\u00a0 We BBQ’d some Friday night, made tacos Saturday, and canned the rest.\u00a0 Today we harvested some roma, cherry, and pear tomatoes.\u00a0 We dried the small ones and made sauce with the romas.<\/p>\n

We then took some squash from the garden and made delicious stuffed squash.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oval has had a buddy over for the last few days, Opie, which has been fun.\u00a0 Emily got them to play tug-a-war for a while which I’m pretty sure ended in a draw.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A great couple of weeks!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
