Oregon's sesquicentennial
As a native Oregonian, Eli insisted that we take him to the state's 150th birthday party on Saturday at the Capitol. There was free ice cream, hot dogs and cake, and lots of photo opportunities. Eli really really liked Smokey the Bear. Jess and Ben really really liked the live Gold man, who was supposed to resemble the Gold man on top of Oregon's Capitol building, who is supposed to represent all of the Pioneers who settled Oregon. The live Gold man, however, had put on too many pounds to be a true Pioneer.

Looks like fun, but, geeze, that guy's the worst gold man ever.
