We had a good time in Pendleton during memorial day weekend. It rained off and on, but we had enough dry, warm weather to get out and explore a little bit. We walked down the levy along the Umatilla River to check out a place where the blue herons nest with their young. (Unfortunately, it was too far away for my very old camera). As we walked along the little league ball field, Gabe watched the boys play baseball. He thought that was cool. This park brings back alot of childhood memories. Erin and I spent alot of time here playing softball with Dad coaching and Mom watching our games.
We had a chance to get out and do some exploring around the eastern Oregon countryside one day while Gabe napped back home. Only a few minutes out of town, we came around a corner and spotted a doe licking off her new born, and very wobbly fawn. We watched as the fawn staggered over to its mother and started nursing for the first time. We just snapped a few quick pictures and hurried off as not to disturb them. It was very cool!
Gabe had a wonderful time playing with the "grandmas" and Dan's grandpa "poppy". He did very good in the car (5 hour drive each way) too. Thanks for a great weekend. We will see you guys in August for Gabe's 1st Birthday!
