For our Miller Family Vacation 2009 Mark took Spencer and I to Portland, Oregon. It was beautiful! We spent three and a half days there, all three days it rained though. Our first day we drove up the Gorge and saw about 20 waterfalls. These pictures are of our favorite. I loved the fall leaves with the beautiful and lush green. It was so pretty. We also took Spencer downtown and did some window shopping, and some playing in a great toy store. Of course Spencer made out with some awesome toys!
We also took a drive to the Portland Temple. Seeing this temple makes seven temples Spencer has gotten his picture taken at in a year! I love being able to teach Spencer about being a child of God and how he can visit Heavenly Father when he goes to the temple. The last two days Mark and Spencer toured without me while I was at a scrapbooking convention. They went to the zoo, the beach, Tilamok cheese factory, and lots of other fun things. I think they had a lot of fun without mommy but it was great when they came to visit me.
I had such a blast at the Close to my Heart Regional Celebration that I went to. We took master classes on a variety of subjects from blogging to games to play at gatherings. I got to create lots of cards and 2- 2 page layouts for our family scrapbook (pictures coming). I made some great friends who would go early to save our special seats (Thanks sweetheart!). The most rewarding part was meeting Jeanette Lynton, the founder of Close to my Heart. She is so sweet and inspirational! I am sure that I came away from the weekend a stronger more focused individual and I am so excited to be a part of it all.
