About a week ago, a few families in our church co-op took a field trip to the Oregon Trail exhibit at the Portland Museum. It was a great experience. The kids got to spend time with each other, and learn great facts about the history of the Great North West. They didn't allow photos inside the museum, but I hope you enjoy these few pictures from our lunch break outside the museum.

Silly faces!

The group.

What an interesting atmosphere. Notice the tall portland building directly behind the Statue of Theodore Roosevelt.

People probably thought it kind of odd to see a group this large, all the girls in skirts, walking down the sidewalks of Portland in the middle of the week. They probably guessed we were homeschoolers. ;)

This building was amazing... It was painted brick, but from the street it appeared to be constructed like this.

Our family should get one of these drinking fountains, all the kids could get their drink at the same time without waiting in line. :) The water in Portland doesn't taste very good.

That's all for now folks!
