Good morning
Too much to do, and not enough time to do it in.
And of course my last child to need a healthy checkup appointment is today. I'm thinking of calling and cancelling it! He's healthy I know it Do I have to have the doctors blessing on that???? ROFL
About our trip one of the things we did on Tuesday was go to the Astoria column. And yes munchkin mommy we climbed all 165 steps with all 5 kids. And don't ask me where we put our brains when we decided to do this. hehehehehe Oh my goodness my thighs still hurt. Rob carried Rainee in a packback (the kids word) and all the rest climbed up. On the way down he carried Rainee in the packback and James in his arms. :O I had my hands full with keeping HD from looking over the side of the stairs without a rail (circular stairway) And the death grip I had on Kaylin as she went step down step down step down.
The view was incredible. And terrifying lol. I think I'm afraid of heights. And here's the pictures.
You can see how tiny the kids are in the first picture and I could not get the whole column in and see the kids. The second picture is the full length of the column. I'm sorry about the quality of the picture...it was early morning that day. And this next picture is us at the top of the column. On the left do you see those little teensy tiny silver things? Those are the cars at the bottom of the column. :-O I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of the view. I was too busy trying to make sure 5 kids stayed very very still. Did I mention I think I'm afraid of heights
Oh and the last picture for the day....mommy played tourist and bought the kids matching sweat shirts.
Don't they look cute in them??

Love the pictures! Such a bunch of sweeties!

Hmmm, those look very much like pics I brought home. LOL The kids are so cute in their shirts.
I had the hardest time coming down the stairs--going up it was kinda slow so it wasn't TOO bad, but coming down I thought I was going to get dizzy going in circles. 
It's a very tight spiral staircase...
