Rain Free Weekend in Portland

March 11, 2013 by dailygnome 3 Comments

It doesn’t happen often in early March but when it does we Portlanders take full advantage of putting house projects and commitments on hold to venture outdoors. And it couldn’t have landed on a more perfect weekend as Julie, Aaron and cousins were up from LA:

Our neighbors had a garage sale and Hadley emptied her piggy bank to score a family of trolls:

Leisurely afternoon spent on the stoop, catching up with neighbors {in the sun!}:

Frolicking in the yard, catching the pigskin {and flying trolls!}:

    Oh my, what a great time. My heart skips a beat when I see all the little ones together. It was stunning to see the little girl in the pink hood on the last photo. I was so sure it was Julie (at that age) that I wondered if you’d done some tricky photo shopping! Wow!

    Oooh, I loved my troll dolls when I was little! Glad to see the tradition is being kept alive 🙂
