Spring Break

We got to celebrate spring break with my parents and Michelle, this year. It had been almost 3 years since they had all gotten to come visit, so we were super excited to have them. We didn't get to play as much as we normally would have because spring break happened to be the week before we moved, but we did get to do a few fun things.

We got lucky and had great weather the entire time they were here, so we visited our favorite duck park one last time while living in Hillsboro.




It was so good for Spencer to develop a little relationship with his other Grandma and Grandpa. He had SO much fun being spoiled with attention!




Alan's parents were nice enough to let us use their beach house for a night. The beach is a huge deal for Arizonans, so we spent awhile there. Spencer immediately wanted his shoes and socks off like everyone else, but only lasted about 20 seconds on the cold sand. :)




Michelle had a fabulous time wading and wound up with very wet pants.




They are all a lot tougher than I am. I didn't go near the water.




After the beach, we watched a glass-blowing demonstration. This is Spencer's "Grandma smile."




Lovely.




This is the only picture I got of just Mom and Dad together.




Of course, we also had to hit up the Tillamook Cheese Factory for free cheese samples and ice cream cones. German Chocolate Cake ice cream = Divine.




On another nice day, we went to another park. Michelle was a little tall for the toddler playground, but she was a good sport and played there with Spencer anyway. My baby sister is just about to pass me up in height! She was such a good buddy for Spencer the whole time she was here.




Purse duty.




My best buddy. I love hearing Spencer say "best buddy." He has the cutest, little voice.




Cheese!



Thanks so much for coming to visit Mom, Dad and Michelle! We had a wonderful time even though things were a little crazy with moving. We miss you guys all the time and so wish we could see you more often. Until July...

  1. Sounds like you guys had a really great time! I wish I got to see my parents more often too. Have you moved into your house yet, or are you still working on the improvements? Kristin, thanks for the e-mail, by the way!
