Rhododendron Garden

It has been a rough month. It seems Priya caught every bug under the sun. Bronchitis, cold, flu, viral gastroentiritis etc... That last one she shared with everyone. Not fun. That is why there has not been many pictures to share. But, we are all healthy for the moment.

Last Friday was a nice day in Portland and Priya and I had the day off together while Mom was at work. So, we headed to the Portland Rhododendron Garden. Priya got to work, playing with the dirt:




She was rocking her Puma track suit and new Nike kicks. Looking good amongst the blooming Rhododendrons.





The flowers weren't holding her attention. The ducks sure were though. She ran around saying "Qack, qack". She also threw rocks at them. Maybe I should have bought the duck food?





I managed to find some flowers with rocks in front of them. She told me to sit - that is her big thing right now, getting everyone to "sit, sit". So, while she played with the dirt and rocks, I snapped pictures of her in front of the flowers.





She would not sit still. She was running around the whole time, unless she was throwing things in the water and getting right up on the waters edge. Not very relaxing that part.




A fun day at the garden. She slept well that night. Me too.
