Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.~Henry Ward Beecher

Last weekend Jon had a reserve job and had to be in Portland. I decided to go with him and enjoy the city with the kids and meeting up with a dear friend Tristan.
We enjoyed the heated indoor pool and spa, downtown life,the military base the kids loved and spent hours climbing all the tanks used in past wars.
We met up with my friend and decided we didn't have time for the zoo as its huge and has to get back for dinner at Gwen's,Jon'a older sister.
We all agreed on painting pottery which is a plus for kids and adults. Bowls,plates,handprints,paint in hair and face, with a lot of laughs and smiles lead to a perfect day in Portland.
Here are the few pictures I took!
