We just got back from an overnight trip to Portland to hang out with Jim’s mom’s family – and what fun we had! Jim’s cousins planned a get together at a park and we ate, played Bocce ball, ate some more, and had a great time catching up at something that wasn’t a wedding, shower, or funeral. We hope to make this an annual event!

JT, Grandpa Keene, and Isabelle watch the Bocce Ball tournament
Our team called in referee Kimberly for the final word.
JT snuck into Isabelle’s chair when she got up to go play!
Jim’s team was in the finals.
The tournament was so exciting that it wore JT out. He got a nice nap in the shade with Grandpa Keene!
After the park, the Keenes’ truck was making funny sounds. All the boys (ahem, men) went outside to take a look. JT was soooo interested in what was going on out there.
The men were so hungry from working on the truck that Uncle Mark broke out a big box of hamburgers and lit up the grill. JT got a taste of my double stack and he loved it. That’s our little carnivore! π
Back at Uncle Steve and Aunt Sue’s, JT had a bath and went right to sleep. What a great day!
