PNW Trip Phase 4 - Stanwood

The last part of our trip we went up to my hometown in Washington.  It did us all a lot of good to hang out with these turkeys!

KAYAK POINT!!!!

We were able to get to have a special play date with a bunch of my friends from high school and their kids - Jon & Megan Beutler, Sara Allen & Amy Isaksen and all their kids.

Painting nails outside in the sunshine!

We had an amazing visit one day with Great Grandma Jan Eskelsen

Chill'n with Sara in the fort of wonders!

The girls and I ended our trip with a drive up to see the Tulip Festival in Mount Vernon

....and of course a stop at Snow Goose Ice Cream!

  

We were so blessed to get to live close to these guys for several years and wish we could still come up and get to see things like their soccer games, choir concerts, plays, dance performances and everything else they're into these days.  Perhaps one day we can move back and be close to all of the friends and family we got to spend some special time with on our epic trip up to the Pacific Northwest, but for now - COME AND SEE US IN TEXAS!

PNW Trip Phase 3 - Corvallis

Most of our trip was spent back in Corvallis.  We got to stay with our very good friends Lilly, Randy & Colleen!

 We were very excited to get to have lunch and play at Central Park with Jeremy & Rebecca!!!

 We stopped by story time at the library for all time sake

And spent lots of time at the indoor park!  We miss that place so much!

Not to mention walks in the rain

And got to tag along to an art class at the Art Center

We got to catch up with our best friends 

Getting to play at couch Rhonda's house 

 Don't forget the Bounce House!!!

And Block 15 for dinner where the girls made a cooperation monster in which they had to take turns to decide what the monster was going to look like. 

The girls were so good together and had so much fun!

Of COURSE we spent a lot of time swimming at the pool and having fun

We miss our friends in Corvallis and wish we were still there.  We had a wonderful time seeing friends, playing, going to our favorite haunts and making memories.  Thanks everyone who helped us make this trip possible.
