Last Week in Portland

We spent this past summer in Portland and on our last Sunday there My mom, dad, Brent and myself went to this garden in downtown Portland. I am not sure what I was expecting besides a nice Sunday walk but this garden was pretty amazing.
When we arrived the gates were open and there was no one in the ticket booths. We read the signs and it said that Sundays were free, as were most other days and times (we wondered where they got all their funds to keep the place maintained.
This little waterfall was at the very beginning of the bath.
Brent loved climbing out onto any tree that had fallen into the many lakes.

This is one of the little ponds around. There was some sort of meeting going on over by the jet of water. The whole time we were there Brent kept pointing out different types of birds. Apparently when he younger he loved loved LOVED birds! It was fun having him point out all the different kinds, I can't believe he still remembers all the different types of ducks!

This was a fun last outing while out in Portland. I am still amazed at how beautiful and area this is and whoever maintained this park did a great job of creating a very peaceful area with complimenting architecture!

Any fun Parks we should visit next time we are in Portland or heck while we are in Utah?
