4th of July 2014

We had our friends Pam, Amanda, and Jody visiting us the week of the 4th this year.  Early in the week we visited Multnomah Falls and then Pam took us to Benihana so they could do a birthday celebration for Charlotte a little early.  Neither Tim nor I had ever been there and it was such a fun experience!

The next day we went on a jet boat tour on the Willamette River even though it was a chilly and cloudy day!  On the way back we were able to visit the famous food trucks they have in downtown Portland and it even warmed up and became sunny outside! 

For the 4th of July we drove up to Longview to meet my Dad and Debbie for the Cowlitz County Go Fourth Festival at Lake Sacajawea.  There was food and there were vendors and then the fireworks.  It was a late night because Pam, Jody, and Amanda had to be at the airport at 6 the next morning and we didn't get back until midnight, but I am glad they were able to spend the holiday with us because we had a lot of fun!
