Avery's weekend

Our weekend weather was super hot. So we spent a lot of time outdoors. We went to the Farmer's Market downtown on Saturday and had lunch in the park. Avery was doing her best to pick up every leaf in the park and hand it to her dad...


Then she had fun playing "upside down baby"....

Later on, we went swimming. Here is Avery practicing her walking before we went into the pool...

On Sunday, we took Avery to her first political event. Both candidates have been in Oregon this weekend, getting ready for our primary on Tuesday. Clinton had a few private speeches and a televised town hall meeting. And Obama had a public rally downtown on the waterfront.

They were expecting about 10,000 people to show up to hear Obama speak...but there were actually 75,000 people! About twice the size of any of his crowds so far.
