Spring break visitor and the day of "res"taurants

Our grandniece Claire got to spend a few days of her spring break here in Portland.
She flew up from California on Wednesday.
She was here to spend time with Courtney for the most part but I got to do a little shopping for fabric and we built her a quilt to take home with her.
Here is the fabric pallette she chose.
I had her cutting out the squares for the quilt top.
Here she is laying out the squares in the pattern she decided on.
Here is the entire thing laid out.
I didn't get a photo of it finished but it turned out really cute.




We got to take her to our favorite lunch place.
The gang at Chino Saigon
A farewell at the airport.



And of course it was a beautiful Sunday
(the day of restaurants) We wanted grilled burgers and I didn't want to get the grill out and cleaned up and ready for the season so we let the nice people at Burger King make our dinner.
They must have a big floral budget. Their planters and flower beds are beautiful.
Krystle and her milk.
Typical Cam pose.
Courts kickin' back.
Hayden deep in thought.
Sponge Bob came home with us.
I guess this warm weather is okay after all.

nice :) you should get Claire to take a picture of her quilt and email it to you, it looks super cute.

I am a bit jealous of your chino saigon trip. We'll have to go next time Rowan and I are in town eh :D Hopefully by that time you'll also have fired up your grill for the season some homemade burgers in the front yard sounds like a good time :) ooh! we could even make 'em kiwi burgers! Yes! Good plan!
