Portland Thorn's home opener...

A last minutes email right before I left work on Friday @11am got Charlie and I free tickets to the first ever Portland Thorn's (women's soccer) game! There were over 16,000 fans and it was a great game against Seattle! Victor works on Sundays, so it was just the kiddo and I and we had a blast!

Thanks GPTW!

Our "unobstructed view"...the folks working there made them put it down when the game was in play!

Teams before the game started.

Yahoo...Portland wins 2 to 1!

Charlie spent her own $6 to get the finger.

Labor Day weekend 2012...

Friday we headed out to Bonneville Dam and the Fish Hatchery.

Look at all the water...

Lunch at Hood River.

Never get tired of looking at Mt. Hood.

Timberline Lodge.

Love this lodge, someday wanting to spend the night in the winter...

Victor & Charlie on top of the world with Mt. Jefferson in the back ground.

Got free tickets from work to see our first Portland Timbers, MLS game.

The Hoffmans also won free tickets and what's the chance...

We were sitting right next to them.

GOAL...Timbers won 1 to 0 beating the Colorado Rapids.

Celebrated Mary's birthday with her on Sunday...her cat Lire and doggie Deacon threw her the party.  Mary LOVES penguins....perfect cake.

Mom volunteered to have them host their community club's picnic in their back yard.

Great turnout.

Mom continue to improve and amaze us everyday!  We are blessed!
