NEWBERG, OR 8/3-5/2012

We have been blessed to visit #4 son's family the last few days.  We spent time at their mattress store, NORTHWEST MATTRESS OUTLET.  You too can visit their website at Portlandmattressoutlet.co.  But we visited the store, not for the mattresses but to play with our grand kids that were there.  Here Peaches chills with Grandma in between customers.
Grandpa and peaches absorb the vibes from the fan behind them during record breaking heat.  Recognize the shirt, Chip?  It has received many stares and smiles when I wear it.  "Not Old - Just Delightfully Retro".
One of the things the kids like to do while at the store with their parents is to ride their bikes.  Here, under the supervision of Dad, Captain America replaces a bike tube.  Captain America is really in to being a fix-it guy.  He goes to yard sales and buys his own tools.  He has quite an array of them hanging in his "Tool Shed" (His closet in his bedroom.)
Once while relieving the kids of store boredom, Grandma and Grandpa took the kids to a local park.  Luckily we found one that was mostly in the shade.  Fun times with Peaches and Captain America.
We also explored their elementary school and found a baseball on the roof.  Equipped with Grandpa's ladder from the back of his truck, we retrieved it "together".
It has been a fun few days spent together with Sean, Amanda, Captain America and Peaches.  Next we will leave our trailer and truck at their house and fly to New York for a weeks visit with # 3 and #1 son and their families to meet our newest Cowley grand child, Green Hornet!! (#3's first).
