Saturday started off with a beautiful COLD morning. There was frost 'on the pumpkin' so to speak. We enjoyed a lazy morning with a great breakfast made by Bill & Brady. We decided to head to Chuckar Cherry's for a few treats, and a nice drive.
We headed back to Tam & Evan's and had lunch, and some of the guys crashed for a short time on the chairs & couches in the living room while Tami & Evan got Olin ready to go.
We walked to the art gallery along the Columbia river path by Tam & Evan's. It was a beautiful walk. We went to the art gallery in town, and saw Donna's (Evan's Mom) artwork. She does beautiful birds and wildlife pictures.
After the art gallery, we headed to the most awesome play park for the kids. Check out the pictures, and you'll see how they had so much fun. We then walked back to the house for dinner, and pumpkin carving. Brooklyn also had her very first hair cut!
The kids carved pumpkins in Tam & Ev's new kitchen, and the new counter worked as well as the old counter! Jason drew two eyes, a cool nose, and a steering wheel, yep, a steering wheel on his pumpkin. The pumpkin turned out really well, and was pretty cool. Kristin made a beautiful girl pumpkin that Evan helped her cut out, eyelashes and all. Ryan did his own pumpkin from start to finish this year.
"What is it like to be a Christian?"
"It is like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then he cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc., and then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."
Kristin & Jason played hide-and-seek endlessly this weekend! New kitchen cupboards that aren't full yet make great hiding spots.
It was a fun weekend, great visiting, some great baby fixes, and lots of laughing.
Enjoy the pictures....
