This Friday Ammy's counts were low again. Too low to start her next round of chemo therapy. This was a little disappointing since we want to be done with this chemo and each time we miss a treatment it pushes back the ending time. On the bright side Ammy's awesome ChemoPal Jessie was able to get us in to Omsi for a free day of fun thanks to the children's cancer association. Steve had never been here before so he had a fun time exploring, and I enjoyed seeing Ammy explore and learn from the same science experiments I remember from my childhood. When we were down exploring the submarine we saw the jet boat excursions and decided to extend our day with a ride. If you have never done this I highly recomend it. We had a little history of the water front from Portland all the way to the waterfalls in oregon City. It was a lot of fun. Sorry there are no pictures but since it was not planned I did not bring my camera.

This week Ammy's troop got the chance to lead the flag ceremony to open a meeting with congressmen Defazzio. They did an amazing job, especially for their first time. One of the things I love about her troop is that they are all at different levels. This does at times make it very challenging at times, but it is so rewarding to see the older girls setting an example for the younger and helping them through their work. I also love the example it sets for the younger girls and gives them lots of fun things to look forward to. Our troop has 12 girls in it so this is just the girls who are up for helping out. We had a pizza party for lunch as we practiced our ceremony and finished the day with ice cream.
