Portland Timbers Field Trip

Tyler’s class had a field trip at JeldWen Field to watch the Portland Timbers play.  Portland now has a MLS team and there is a lot of excitement surrounding the Timbers.  Since this was close to my office downtown, I met Tyler there and we enjoyed a beautiful day and a great game.  The Timbers lost, but it was still a good game to watch.

This is a picture of Timber Joey, the mascot for the Portland Timbers.  Each time the Timbers score a goal, he pulls out the chainsaw and cuts off a slab from a large tree log.  (Only in Portland)

After the game Tyler and I wandered around Portland for a while.  The picture below is located at Pioneer Courthouse Square.  They used living plants to create a map of the world.  They did a really good job.
