the weekend



About a month ago Jeremy's mom called and offered to watch the kids so we could go out of town for our birthday weekend. So we took her up on it. She also let us use their time share. Another bonus!!! We went to Squim (it's just south of Port Angeles). The Hoood canal bridge is closed and so we had to take the long way. Not a bad thing, it took longer yes, but it was a beautiful drive. We kept busy, we watched a strong man competition, went to Victoria,seen a movie, slept, went to the Olympic game farm, its a zoo type park, if you haven't been its pretty cool. You stay in your car and drive through. You can buy a loaf of bread to feed to the animals. You drive through the elk, buffalo, zebra and llama pastures. They will come right up to car and eat the bread out of your hands. They had bears that you can toss the bread to. They had a rhino, lions, tigers, cougars, wolves and even a baby bear. We will be going back, next time with the kids. We finished our trip by taking a walk along the Dungeness spit. It was fun to spend time together eventhough we missed the kids.

The girls had fun with Grandma and Grandpa too. They went to a hawaiian themed girls only party! They went to a BBQ, got to go to grandmas and grandpas ward, and they got to play with their cousins. They were tired when we got them home, but they can't stop talking about the fun things they did. So thank you again Cherie for the amazing birthday gifts!
