We Miss Mimi and Papa!

We really enjoyed Mimi and Papa's visit! Alex and Jaden were so glad to see them. Jaden was so upset when they left and kept saying he wanted to go on the plane with Mimi. They brought some warm weather with them and by the time they left most of the leaves on the trees had finally opened up their buds and were sprouting green leaves. The pictures are backwards in sequence of how they happened and I still haven't figured out how to rotate pictures...sorry!

The kids thought it quite the game to go running across the yard and launch themselves onto Papa. They repeated this over and over again. Dad was quite the sport this weekend playing house and airport with Alex, chasing them around the playground and teaching them new games. Their favorite (I am hoping they forget it soon) game they came up with is to take a card and chips game that we have, go into the bonus room and to throw the pieces everywhere while yelling wahoo!

After our little jaunt downtown we headed to the park which has a path that runs next to the river. We stopped there to throw some rocks, splash Mimi, and clean a scraped up knee. It was a gorgeous day outside! Afterwards we went to lunch at Blue Moose Cafe which is one of my favorite lunch spots.

We walked around downtown Eagle Monday morning. We stopped in little furniture stores and fun little boutiques. I think Dad was a bit bored with that one. There is a little vegetable market downtown where we stopped and got some fresh fruits and yummy salad dressings.

A picnic in the park after the museum.

These three shots were taken at the Discovery Museum. It's a science museum that has lots of fun experiments and learning activities for the kids. They happened to be having an event there that day, hence the face painting. They have a little grocery store section that the kids can shop and check out. It's one of the kiddos favorites there.
