Thursday, May 9th, Bumpa, Bryan the boys and I all flew down to Salem in the bowanza (bonanza). (Grandma had driven down earlier in the week on Monday.) It was a weekend full of fun memories and a weekend full of pride in the hard work Cheryl had accomplished in the past four years.
God blessed us with some beautifully sunny days to start with so we enjoyed a garden, swimming and generally playing outside.
The boys thought feeding the chickens was great fun!
Friday we visited an Oregonian garden whose name is escaping me right now. There were some beautiful flowers blooming!
The children's garden had these bushes all shaped into different shapes--bears, fish, flowers, etc. Pretty amazing artistry.
Brandon has recently discovered dinosaurs and was interested in excavating this "cementasaurus rex". :)
But the train was the highlight for the boys!
We went swimming every afternoon! The boys were incredibly bummed when it was too cold and dreary to swim Sunday though. Brandon went so far and to tell me we had to stay extra days so we could go swimming again.
Brandon was once again extremely anxious about going down the slide and after some strong coaxing and encouragement from everyone, we finally got him to go down and then he enjoyed it again.
Micah hung on the tube and kicked all over the pool!
Saturday was preparation day as well as more swimming and playing outside.
And the party started to arrive!
Up next...Cheryl's big day.
