Today is the last day of summer for the Kersten kids. Tomorrow it will be back to school so we just had to spend the morning riding the Willamettet Jet Boats. These jet boats seat about 50 people and take you for a great ride up and down the Willamette River-which runs through downtown Portland. We rode the jetboats last summer and the kids liked it so much they wanted to do it again. Today's weather wasn't as warm as we had hoped for riding in a boat. It was a balmy 62 degrees! I thought that since it wasn't so warm the driver of the boat would be kind and wouldn't get us wet. That wasn't the case at all. He took no mercy and we walked off the boat very wet and quite chilly. Eventhough we had wished for a warmer day, we still had a lot of fun and will certainly put the jetboats on the list of things we have to do again next summer!
Hold kids--it's going to be a fast and wet ride!

This is going to be my next home here in Oregon. It is 15,000 sq. feet and sits right on the river. It has an indoor pool and and outdoor pool, five levels and has never been lived in! Sign me up!
This is Willamette Falls and is where the tour ends because to get above the falls you have to go through a series of locks. The falls aren't too big but the kids liked them.
