Family Visits




















My parents and brother came to visit recently. It was SO much fun to have them here. We did quite a bit of sight-seeing. First we took them to the Tillamook Cheese Factory. The kids loved seeing all the machinery and the cheese samples. Sydney's favorite cheese was the squeaky cheese and Tyler's was the Cheddar. After Tillamook we continued the drive up the coast and ended in Seaside for dinner. My parents treated everyone to a nice seafood dinner. Then we headed home. It was a beautiful drive.

The next day we hung out at home with the kids. They loved having all the attention and watching lots of fun movies with Grandma and Grandpa. Especially Beauty and the Beast and How to Train Your Dragon. They absolutely LOVE those two movies. Saturday we headed to Mount Saint Helens and the Ape Caves. It is fascinating how big they are. Tyler had a great time after about half way through when he realized that Mom was right and there were no monsters living there. There were even other cougar fans visiting the same day.

Sunday morning we went to church. Of course Jeff made an impact on the Young Women in our ward for how cute he is. Too bad he is WAY to old for them! We spent Sunday at home enjoying each others company. Off it was to the airport. This always makes me sad. A little while later Jeff called and had chosen to be bumped to another flight because they overbooked the flight. It was a wonderful surprise. So he came home and Monday we went shopping down in Woodburn. Tyler loved picking out tennis shoes and basketball shorts with Jeff. That night we went and saw the last Shrek at the theater. It was great to have him an extra day with him. Thanks for Mom, Dad, and Jeff for coming to visit. We always look forward to our next visit together!
