Cid's 3rd Birthday Party and a Trip to the Sandy River Fish Hatchery

We had to push Cid's 3rd birthday party out a little bit, but it was worth it for a visit from two of our favorites.

André (Opa) and Shelley!

We didn't know Shelley was coming too, so when saw her peaking over the fence we were so surprised and so happy to see her!

We just had a small party with WAY too much food, since well, two of the four invitees were sick.  After a little bit of a rough start due to a grumpy-pants birthday boy, we partied Thomas and Pirate style.

Then hit the road to Sandy River Fish Hatchery, in Sandy, Oregon to look at the baby fish and take a (very small) hike. It's a great place, wide open for the public.  We didn't go fishing this trip, but I'm sure we will someday since the boys got new fishing rods from their Opa!

And, we found another geocache! This one is maintained by the rangers at the hatchery. How thoughful is that?!  So, if there are trinkets in the cache, you are supposed to take it and replace it with something of your own.  As usual, boys decided to leave the trinkets that were already in the cache and "choose" the trinkets that we were trying replace those with.... we try.
