This weekend we took a little trip down to Portland to visit my cousin Ruthie.  Isn’t she the cutest?!Portland-13Portland-14We had a big time.  Portland is too cool!  Here’s a sampling from the weekend –

Also Ruth taught me a new way to dye eggs and you know how much I love eggs!  Here are some photos of the process –

First you peel some onion skins off of purple and yellow onions and then soak them in water.  We also did purple cabbage but it didn’t work too well so I wouldn’t recommend it.

Then you wrap the egg in skins –

You then roll up the eggs in some clean scrap cloth.

Bind the whole thing up in rubber bands and boil like you would hard boiled eggs-
