April/Visitors take 10

Ella Fitzgerald "Ella Kitty" turned 7. I can't believe we've already had our kitty for seven years!April was a pretty chill month, but we did go to this AMAZING tulip festival! This will be a new yearly tradition, because it was just soooo beautiful! Seriously, there were tulips as far as the eyes could see in every color and variety. It was also neat b/c it only cost us $5 and we were allowed to have the pup with us.The weather was really nice the whole month and we have been taking full advantage of going to the many parks around here. Here is Gypsy with her boyfriend Coletrane...they french kiss already. Gross. Oh yeah, the cherry trees bloomed all over! The air smelled fantastic and I loved all the white and pink blossoms all around town. Living in a place with seasons kicks butt! We have also been learning about all thing dog in the Portland area. Portland is such a HUGE dog place and everywhere you go there are people out with dogs. We found this one dog wash where you go and get to wash your dog, but they provide everything to you and it is half the cost of having the place groom them for you. Blake's Aunt Peggy & Uncle Pete own some property up in Washington so on their way back home to California they made a stop in Portland to see us. It was nice to have some family come even if for only a short moment and they treated to us to a yummy lunch!
