Washougal

So me and the kiddos took a trip out to Washougal for a little over a week. It was fun, but as always, there is never enough time to do everything and see everyone we want to.

Isaac and I did the Race for the Cure in Portland on "Tonya's Team," to support our friend, Tonya, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She is an amazing inspiration to me. It was great to be part of her team and spend some time with wonderful friends....yay Keila & Jon and Shayla and Tonya and her family and Anne-Elissa (her kiddo, Anderson is super tall for his age and we're hoping he and Mia get married so they can have "normal" sized kids.) hehe.

We also spent some time with Melanie and Damen as well as Allysia and Belen & Camden, who all were in town at the same time as us. It was nice to hang out with old friends. We got to also see Stephanie and her sweet baby boy, Braden. And Isaac and I spend a good time with Aeranee, too.

The kids got to see all of their uncles, Uncle Randy, Uncle Leif & Eric, as well as all their cousins except for two, which was a bummer we didn't get to see Lurlyn & the kids. And of course spent time with Aunt Teresa and Grandma and Grandma Vi. :)

Among the fun stuff we did was this: Throw up (just me and Mia, thankfully), ride bikes with boys at the Suggs house, dinner with friends, trip to the zoo, trip to the beach (and of course the Tillamook cheese factory!), shopping (hello IKEA!), soccer games, watched Randy finish a trail run, played with cousins, swang on a tire swing at Grandma Vi's, ate a lot, ate yummy grilled cheese deluxe sandwiches with super homemade tomato soup, Aunt Teresa took the girls to story time, shopping with Aeranee, pie at Shari's, caught up with old friends and stayed up way too late...oh and did I mention throwing up, too? Yuck.

All in all, it was a fun, but very busy time and the kids did not get nearly enough sleep! Oh and I got a ticket coming home. That was fun. :/
