My wife and I are looking for some new ideas to celebrate the Christmas season with our grandkids. We've done quite a bit of the regular stuff over the years. Alpenrose, Lights at PIR and Peacock. Zoo ride, Grotto,Christmas ships etc. Would you have an idea to share? Thanks
I did this last year and it was a huge hit. Doing it again this year. http://www.sportstwo.com/threads/im-celebrating-jolabokaflodh-this-year.324817/
Combine that with a trip up to Timberline Lodge for hot chocolate and then when you get home show them The Shining.
I might be showing my age, but there was a Street of Dreams light show somewhere around the west side of Tabor. Maybe 50th or so? They put a lot of work into the show--at least, when I last saw it as a teenager they did.
My granddaughter was already abused by antifa commies fir wearing a Youth for Christ shirt. Scum bag Brown shirt nazi Thanks for bringing it up though!
You used to able to take your family downtown and check out the train at M&F and windows. Not any more though. Really yo bad
We used to always go to Peacock Lane. Been doing that since I was a tot back in the early 50s. When I was in better health, I would always put up Christmas lights. You and your grandkids could do that as well as decorate the tree. I used to live up in the hills overlooking Alpenrose but I've never been there since our field trip when I was in about the third grade and I got to squeeze a squirt of milk out of a cow.
not sure I understand what a false flag deal has to do with my granddaughter getting physically harassed by an anarchist? Man, id be just as pissed if it was by a right wing neo nazi.
lol..Thanks for the idea. We do Peacock every few years, its still nice. Im 68 and my folks used to take us there. Great idea about having them help with the lights. I have a ranch style house which it has made it easy to do. We did Alpenrose last year the first time in a while for me going there it was fantastic, they ad the Storybook Lane for kids that used to e at Lolyd Center back when it was new. We are thinking about either the Oaks Park Christmas Express or the one in Hood River.
lol...between 4-14 Where's Devils Point? I used to go to Taylors View Point decades ago....I was a sky pilot from hell then!
at my age the planning process takes as long as congress under Obama & Trump, but I get stuff done, within budget. Like Ive always said, If you doing know her you are going, you WILL end up somewhere else! And what gets measured, gets DONE!
If I had been there even at 68 I would kick some ass and probably would have ended up in jail! It wouldn't have mattered what politics,race,religion! They are prevalent in down down portland these days infact they think they occupy it. Whimpy Progressive mayor!
Amtrak usually has very cheap tickets to Seattle during December. Take them up there to see the Christmas decorations downtown. The Nordstrom mothership still has the killer window decorations. Also the remodeled Space Needle is now open.
