Our last few days in Portland we had to go back to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, it was so awesome they had a full Chemistry Lab with 6 different experiments the kids could do alone, including using bunsen burners burning different chemicals to see the colors they emit, Reese did that one 3 times. Luc was into dipping different metals into chemicals to see how they changed. They also had a Physics lab, a space station and the big hit, water play, yeah we got wet.
Sunday we checked out the Portland Pirate Festival, held right on the river, under this massive bridge, beautiful setting. They had lots of pirates, lots of fighting, lots of weapons, puppet shows, great music and real cannon and gunpowder battles, really loud!! They had Captain Bogg and Salty performing loads of pirate songs and they were great! There was also a great Pirate's Parrot show with over 30 parrots that we got to hold and pet, such a treat, my parrot let me pet him for over 10 minutes and wanted me to nuzzle into his neck and everything.
After the festival, we hit the road and headed for Seattle, goodbye Portland, great 12 days here, definately coming back!
