Popo and Grandpa come to visit!

My mom and dad arrived on Sunday afternoon for a lovely summertime visit. We've had a busy few days already - we visited our community garden plot and walked down the Balch Creek trail; we drove out to the Tillamook State Forest and hiked up the King's Mountain trail; we went to a minor league baseball game, the Hillsboro Hops; we saw the Noguchi exhibit at the Japanese Garden.  Popo braided Liesl's hair, and both grandparents took Sebastian to a driving range to try out golfing. We tried a new Lebanese restaurant (Oasis) and our favorite Korean restaurant (JCD). And of course, Dad visited Powell's and bought a new book.

Kings Mountain - 3200 ft, straight up. We didn't quite make it.

the forest was beautiful - the ferns were lush and covered the forest ground
