Oaks Park

The company I work for has their annual company picnic every year at Oak Amusement Park in Portland.... it's the only amusement park in Oregon (well closest thing to an amusement park- it's no where near the CA ones).  The company serves tons of great food, does some fun games for the kids, has free face painting and gives everyone free passes to all the rides! It's great! I really like the company we work for. They are very organized and on top of everything, and treat their employees pretty good.  Anyways, the boys always have a great time when we go to Oaks Park and had a blast again this year.  








 There was candy and coins inside of the hay for the kids to find.... Jackson came away with $5 in addition to lots of candy!

We sat and watched this ride for a little while... the boys thought it was awesome. I will not be going on that anytime soon.








A funny note from the day.... on all the little kid rides Baron would just sit there happily, or stick his tongue out, but never break out in a big smile.  We kept wondering if he liked the rides, but he said he did and wanted to keep going on them over and over.  It wasn't until we went on the mini roller coaster that he finally broke out in a HUGE grin.  Turns out he's really just a little dare devil who prefers the bigger, scarier rides.  When we took Jackson last year on the roller coaster, he cried.  This year Jackson loved it, and Baron (this year was his first year being tall enough for it) couldn't get enough of it and wanted to go again and again.  We had a great day!
