Lovely First Night in September

Usually we are at the beach for Labor Day, but we decided to stay home and get our house in order before the school year began. It was such a great weekend of quiet time with each of the kids and family time together. While Mark and Gordon golfed, Frances and Maggie and I went to Jamison to play in the water -- the place we always start summer and the place we end it. We met for dinner in the Pearl and went to an awesome OUTDOOR film festival in Fields Park. The movie was Growing Cities and was an inspirational film about urban farming.....hello Portlandia. We didn't get to see the whole thing, but the kids loved the mystique of just getting to be outside and see a movie.
