A Fun Week With the Knorpps

Hyrum and I met Dan and Krystal Knorpp while in medical school 12 years ago.  That seems so long ago when I write it out like that.  Now, many moves and many kids later, we got the chance to hang out for a week when the Knorpp's came out to Portland for a visit.

I took them on the 4 T's hike.  This is such a fun way to introduce people to Portland because you get to hike through a fun trail and then ride a tram over the city and that takes you right into downtown Portland.

Taking a break:)

Emerson and Marly at the park

We took a few days and stayed in a beach house out on the coast.  It wasn't really super warm but the kids all had lots of fun.  Townsend is showing off his gymnastics skills:)

Good friends...good times

Dan and Hyrum built a fire for us on the beach

Hanging out by the fire.  It was a pretty cool evening but when you're at the beach you have to have a fire:)

We explored a really fun tide pool.  This is Krystal with her three cuties: Sophia, Ollie and Marly

Lots of amazing things to see in the tide pools

Of course the boys had to climb the giant rock!

It was so much fun to have friends come and visit for the week.  The kids are all around the same age and got along really well the whole time.  Thanks so much Knorpps for a fun week:)
