Trip to Oregon

At the end of April and beginning of May, my mom and dad drove the girls and me up to see our friends in Philomath, Oregon. Our big outing was taking the kids to the Gilbert House Museum in Salem, where they got to play, play, play. Most of my pictures didn't turn out. Here's Taylor checking out at the "grocery store."Leo, Taylor, Lauryn, and AnnikaBesides the three houses with many fun rooms, they had a great playground area outside.The next day, we left the kids with the grandpas and had a girls outing. We decided to have lunch somewhere the men wouldn't appreciate...
so we went to tea and had cucumber sandwiches and scones with lemon curd. Yum! Karen, Barbie, Cathy, and Jenny

Jenny and James's house was very clean when we showed up. Within ten minutes Lauryn had all the toys out and on the floor. She especially liked this play kitchen area. In this picture she's making "breakfast" for Annika.
Tater, this awesome family dog, adopted Jenny and James a few years ago when he jumped into the back of their truck and wouldn't leave. He's huge and energetic but very gentle with the kids.
There were pheasants all over around their house. What beautiful birds! We enjoyed seeing our friends again and wished we lived closer to each other so that we could get together more often.
