Trip to Portland, part 2 -- Museums!
We visited the Portland Children's Museum. Here's the water room:
Last time we visited the Kansas City children's museum, a little girl puked in the water room. When I asked Coop what his favorite part of this museum was, he said "when I played in the water room and no one puked."
A turtle made of clay:
A knight costume from the gift shop, complete with helmet visor, which was the big selling point for Cooper:
We also visited the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry and took a tour of this submarine, the USS Blueback:
Looking through the periscope:
Trying out the small beds on the sub:

Trip to Portland, part 1
Coop and I had spring break at the same time, so we spent a couple of days in Portland, OR. Carmen and Toban were hiking in Argentina, so Mom was staying there with Vada. We decided to go hang out with them for a bit.
Coop kept notes of the trip:
Waiting for the airport shuttle bus:
Uh-oh... our plane was delayed three and a half hours:
"Plan is lat" = Plane is late.
Talking to Daddy:
Stickers:
Finally on the plane:
And flying through the Portland airport:

Cooper's research projects
Cooper's been coming home from school with "research projects." I get the impression, though I'm not entirely sure, that he "reads" a book and then draws a picture about that subject. (I've provided translations in case you're not up-to-speed on interpreting preschool cursive and spelling.)
"the africn elephants r coowl" = The African elephants are cool.
"sum spidrs or poysnis" = Some spiders are poisonous.
"sharks or big" = Sharks are big.
"deep insid dee rf hids lovu" = Deep inside the Earth hides lava.
"shorcs eet fish" = Sharks eat fish.
"wals spra wodr" = Whales spray water.
"spas is coowl" = Space is cool.
