I recently checked out a book from the library about things to do with your kids in Portland and the surrounding area. The librarian told me about another place that she thought probably wasn’t in the book. I am so glad we went. The boys got SUPER dirty and had a lot of fun.
Colm putting the worm on Liam’s hook. LOVE the look on Liam’s face.
You might be wondering if the boys caught any fish. The answer would be no and I was SUPER happy the answer was no. Here’s why. You catch it. It’s yours. Oh, and you have to clean them before you leave too and I don’t mean with soap and water. I am talking about cleaning it with a knife. A gal I talked to at church said they had caught THIRTY fish when they went there. Can you imagine me cleaning thirty fish? Uh no. I was literally praying to God while the boys were fishing that they wouldn’t catch anything. (Thank you, Big Guy, I owe you BIG TIME.)
So we gave up on fishing and decided to hop in the paddle boat complete with water guns that you can shoot at other people who are also paddle boating. Good times.
This place also has Frisbee golf. We tried the easy course (they have three). I am so glad we opted for the easy one. One other thing they have here are peacocks…about 30-40 of them. They are everywhere-young, old and everything in between. I took a zillion pictures of them, but none of them came out too clearly since they were either in the shade or camouflaged. I will say, however, that peacocks make an awful sound.
Time to go home…Otter Pops with the resident dog.

Dirty feet! We went home and made a beeline for the pool. That got them cleaned up in a jiffy.
