This past week Andrea & E came to visit. We had a wonderful time! We were crazy busy fitting in as much fun as we could possibly stand. :) Here's a quick recap of our week & some photos.
Tuesday: Tuesday morning they arrived bright & early. We hit Starbucks for some caffine then headed to Salem where I was teaching my last Kindermusik class for the summer. That afternoon we hung around then got serious in the kitchen with some baking & cooking. Andrea made her famous outrageous chocolate chip cookies while I made strawberry jam. We had a great time destroying the kitchen but making lots of goodness in the process. :)
Wednesday: We went to Portland hit IKEA where we made a few lovely purchases, then headed to the zoo. We had a fantastic time at the zoo seeing all of the animals (excluding bats & snakes) & we even took a train ride, much to Ethan's delight. :)
Thursday: This was beach day. We packed a picnic & hit the road once again this time heading for the coast. We had a fun picnic lunch, played on the beach, & then headed home for some milkshakes. It was a quick trip to the beach but we accomplished what we set out to do. That evening was filled with more desserts, hummus for dinner, & the news that Andrea will be published! I'm sure that she will tell you more about that on her blog.
Friday: We went to Riverfront Park with Victoria & her two kiddos for a play date. After the park we had lunch & took much needed naps. That afternoon we hit another park close to my house with water features - it was great fun for E & us as well.
We met Nicole for dinner & then headed back to my house for some much needed girlie time with Nicole.
Saturday: After our 7 am wake up call (thank you Ethan) we got up & began getting ready for the airport. We made a few stops along the way & eventually got to our destination. It was sad to watch them go as I don't know when I'll get to visit with them again. However, I'm so thrilled that they came to spend the week with me - what a wonderful trip filled with lots of great memories (& we actually took pictures this time...aren't you proud? We were....).
