Scootin' Through September

September was a very busy month for us with two trips: one to Portland for my college roommate's sons' birthday and Scarlett's first flight down to Las Vegas.

Scarlett and I kicked off the football season by going down to the NFL Experience in Pioneer Square sporting our Seahawks gear. Then, we headed down to Portland and had a wonderful stay with walks around downtown, Madden's birthday party, and a stop at Multnomah Falls. We attempted a concert at McMennamins Edgefield, but Scarlett was pooped, so we had to abandon that plan. In mid-September we took in a Mariners game and began our PEPS group where we met several other families with kids Scarlett's age. We wrapped up the month with a jaunt down to Vegas and Scarlett's first flight - which she handled like a pro. It was a busy month for this 2 almost 3 month old ... but, she is just such a trooper when it comes to being out-and-about!


 


A flashback - me in the early 80s with my dad and brother in Oregon near another waterfall. A peek at what Scarlett may resemble at age 2!
