Friday night we took Josh and Matthew for their first official miniature golf experience. We all had a blast!! I love that the boys are at these great ages that we can all enjoy family activities like this together.
Last Tuesday I took the boys on a little road trip to the A.C. Gilbert Discovery Village in Salem. We've heard great things about this Children's Museum and it definitely didn't disappoint. One of the major highlights was the bubble room where I think they could have spent the whole day. They have a really great outside play area as well. Unfortunately it was super hot so most of the equipment was too hot to play on. A little insider tip... A family membership is just $65 and it gets you in not only there but to lots of other museums across the country free of charge. We are looking forward to going to OMSI lots with our membership. Such a fun and memorable day!!
For my birthday we headed to Seattle for a little mini vacation before Brett started his new job with Flock. We stayed with my Uncle and Aunt and had such a great time. The boys sure do love their Great Uncle and Aunt! The first night Josh got to have his first experience grilling. After dinner we went to Lake Washington to duck watch and chase and to play at their great play structure. The next day we went to the Space Needle and the Pacific Science Center. The boys loved the Space Needle but I think the little carnival rides outside were their favorite part. Who doesn't love bumper cars?! We had so much fun and can't wait for our next Seattle venture.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and read our little blog! We are truly grateful for your kind words of encouragement and prayers! May the Lord richly bless you each and every day and may you always rejoice in Him!! Brett, Laura, Joshua, Matthew, Luke and Caleb
