Atkinson & Atkinson

In case the 4 Oregon Atkinsons weren't enough, we added 8 of the Utah Atkinsons for a few days and did some fun stuff around town.

We had lunch at the Grilled Cheese Grill.  Portland is big on food carts and this is one
our kids like.  There is a regular food cart where you order & your food is cooked
and then you get to eat in this dilapidated double-decker bus.  Score!  Some of the older (wiser?) kids
declared it not up to their standards and ate outside instead (c'mon, where is your sense of
adventure?  a little communicable disease or food-borne illness never killed
anybody!  Okay, that's not true, but it seems unlikely to kill US).  Isaiah wanted to eat
inside even after his cousins pointed out there was a wasp in there and they cleared
out to join the outside eaters.  But then later when one of his cousins told him what a
wasp is he changed his mind and so in the end we all ate outside...but isn't this a better picture than
if I had them all stand in front of a regular old picnic table?
Isaiah, Ryan, Sadie, Lincoln, Sophie, Brigham, Bonnie, Mollie, and Eliza.

Eliza and Sophie check out some cockpits at the airplane museum.
