Lund Oregon Reunion

The Lund Oregon Reunion has been in the works for over a year now, and the only disappointment was that we couldn't stay longer! This was Dash's first airplane flight, and I'm so glad we could get a "practice run" in before flying out to SC next week. 

Here are some highlights from our trip: 

Dash really wanted to push one of our suitcases, even though it weighed more than him.
This is my mom and sister blocking him from escaping outside with it. 

Dash had to say "hi" to the people behind us...for at least ten minutes.

We took the Portland TriMet to get to our car rentals.
Dash loved being on the train. 

The biggest anticipation for me was Dash meeting his great-great-grandmother!
Unfortunately, he burst into tears the minute he saw her. I guess 95 year olds have a lot of wrinkles or something.
Anyway, it took two teddy bears and a lot of coaxing to get him to warm up to grandma, but he finally did!

By the end of the trip, Dash felt comfortable running up to grandma and sharing his shark.

Chatting in grandma's living room

Dash found this decorative duck at grandma's house and could not stop playing with it.

Five generations! Ages 1, 27, 50, 75, and 95.

Hug Point

Dash loved it when grandpa ("papa") squished him.

Cousin time! This is actually my youngest cousin, Sarah, who is a year older than Dash

Drawing with cousin Katie

Ukulele lessons with great-uncle David.

Chatting with cousin Sunnie and great-aunt Lora.

And now, THE BEACH!! Dash enjoyed playing in the sand, running into the water, flying kites, and riding a boogie board. Also, Matt made a zen garden.

Rhetorically,
