Marcell Madness: Georgie Porgie Puddin Pie

On March 20th, Grandma Georgie and Bud came to visit. They arrived late in the day and due to their jet lag, it was an early evening for them. On Thursday Bud went to visit his daughter Celine in Beaverton. Grandma G and mom stayed behind while dad went to work. Bud was gone all day and got back just in time to watch KU play Western Kentucky in the NCAA tournament. He was feeling very sad because his K-State Wildcats were beaten in their first game ;(. On Friday mom took them shopping at the many thrift stores that exist in Portland.

Saturday we headed to the Gorge and the Falls. The weather was clear which is very rare for March. We went to Vista House for the view of the Gorge.

The next stops were Latourell Falls, Shepherds Dell, Wahkeena Falls, Multnomah Falls and Horsetail Falls. We didn't make it to Bridal Veil because of the longer hike to get to it.

Yes, Georgie that water is cold!

Sunday we headed to church and they met our friends in the ward. After church we had a nice dinner of roasted chicken and visited with children and grandchildren. Bud's favorite activity was doing puzzles. He wasn't able to get this one completed while here but rumor has it that he got it completed once he arrived home. Hmmm.

On Monday we headed to the coast. Our first stop was Tillamook for cheese samples, lunch and ice cream! As is tradition, we had to take a picture of the dairy farmers.
