Family (Reunited and it feels so good)

Lots of family made their way to Portland this summer. Tim's brother and his family came from the far reaches of the U.S. (AKA South Florida). A slew of family came from Sacramento and Stockton including Tim's sister (and her hubby and kids), dad, cousin Angela (with beau Kaleb), Aunt Joanne (and Uncle Ralph), and cousin Pat. Tim's cousin Katie and her husband came down from Tacoma. Tim also has lots of family (Kofflers and Remenars) just north across the river in Vancouver that we also reunited with.
We had a birthday party; pedaled to beer; held multiple BBQs; went to music in the park, museums and the zoo. It was nice just to BE together. A fine reunion indeed.
