Rose Fair

We went to a fair in downtown Portland, it was a lot of fun even though we didn't ride the rides or anything. We watched a magic show and a clown show (I hate clowns because they are not funny) but the kids had fun. I think Alyssa liked the crowds reaction to what was happening on the stage more than what was actually happening. There was also an exotic animal show and they had a lion and giant porcupine (spelling is probably wrong) and these cute little snow lepord cubs. We parked on one side of the bridge (where the parking is free) and walked across to the fair, so here is a picture from the bridge of all the other bridges in downtown. I've never really lived by water before so I think it is neat.

Here are Alyssa and Caleb on the river walk.

There was a really big fountain which Alyssa would have loved to play in, but it was almost 9:30 so we didn't let her play because it was too cold.

We stayed for the firework show and I tried to take a few pictures but none turned out too great. We watched the fireworks from the bridge and they shot them off from a boat which was neat (you can sort of tell from the picture if you know what you are looking at).

That looks fun! I think your fireworks picture turned out really cool.
