the butlers from SO CAL come to visit

my nieces from california will be up visiting us for the next two weeks. we've been very excited for their arrival. xavier got his room all ready for them. he laid out all of the sleeping bags and then brought out all of his small snugglies (stuffed animals)...and let me tell you there were a lot of them, and lined the sleeping bags with them, made the girls name signs for their sleeping bag assignments (can you tell he's a little conrtol freak lol), and made a sign for his bedroom door which read "Xavier's Hotel". this was all his idea and i thought it was pretty thoughtful!

anway, on saturday Red Bull brought their Flugtag event to portland. basicly crazy ass people make these flying contraptions and then launch them off of a big jump and land in the water. the person who's aircraft goes the farthest wins. so, grandpa butler, brian, the kids and 40,000 other people went to portland's waterfront to see these crazy people do their thing. brian and the crew only lasted through 2 jumps and then they left. this is a picture of them at the flugtag event.
