Rose Festival

On Friday night we took the kayaks out to the Willamette River to enjoy the first night of the Rose Festival and the fireworks. It was a lot of fun. There were a ton of boats all just floating around with music playing. It was cool to be able to kind of just maneuver around wherever we wanted and see all the festivities going on. The fireworks were cool but not easy to shoot especially on the river. There are a lot of pictures in this post but I don't know if I will continue putting so many pictures on. I do it because I like pictures and I like to think that is the main person I blog for but then I have all these pictures so why do I need to post them? I just kind of feel like this is turning into the typical testimony at FT meeting but with a lot of pictures and less jokes. Then again maybe this is the place for something like that as apposed to the other. Anyway if no one objects I think I will be taking a break from the pics hopefully that doesn't mean a break from the blog but who knows.















Portland is really a cool town. They do so much for the Rose Festival it was a really cool atmostphere.















There is the submarine at OMSI. They had these old school sailboats out on the water and they kept firing the cannons. I felt like I was in the middle of Pirates.















I took my camera with me and made sure to bring an extra battery just in case and when I got on the river I realized I had the 16 mb chip in it so could only take like 10 pictures anyway.















I think we had probably the best seat in the house so that was cool. The weather was beautiful. Spiderman (again) Shrek the third and Pirates 3.
