Big Shoes! (and other cool stuff too)


So, these shoes are outside of the adidas headquarters in Portland and we can drive past them on our way home every day. Once Mitch learned this he asked to go see the "big shoes" multiple times a day and for a while, whenever we were driving anywhere in the car. Then he started saying "no big shoes" and covering his eyes when we would drive past (even if he had asked to see them earlier in the car ride). So we decided he had some sort of fear of large apparel and thought we'd go see the big shoes up close. He definitely has a love/hate relationship with them and was very frightened to get too close. After a while he warmed up and was able to stand on his own and even touch the shoes! We did this last Saturday and then today he again said "big shoes...no big shoes" on our way home. So indecisive!




Afternoon trip downtown. We took the light rail (which Mitch is rather obsessed with and can identify which color line each train is) downtown and just walked around, then took the max back home. Here we are just watching the trains go by.



More berry picking-are you sensing a theme to our summer? It was actually chilly when we were out on Sunday morning, picking marionberries. Mitch did put some in the bucket (instead of his mouth) and one of us had to hold him the whole time to avoid all the thorns!



There was also a small barn that had a few animals in it so after the berries were picked we went in to look.


Mitch's favorite was the bunny rabbit. Here he is saying "hi" to it.



Over at a friend's house for a barbecue


Mitch got to ride a pretty cool scooter with some help from our friend, Derek. He's really been intrigued by skateboards lately and this was pretty fun for him.
