Visitors...CONTINUED

Ok, so where was I?? Oh yes..the park.. The next day it was on to Enchanted Forest where the kids had a BLAST (And so did I, so much so I didn't get very many pictures..) Here they are in the witches mouth:
Matt took care of the shooting, Alissa dictated what was to be shot :)
The girls rode all the rides together.
Our little frogs..
Here is the group huddled around the train set.

Our next outing was THE BEACH! :) This is what the ride up looked like.. On the way to the beach we stopped at the pony rides -- the kids were thrilled!!!

Here is Alissa riding "Sunny" her favorite -- And Hailey rode "Blizzard" --

And we were all pleasantly surprised to learn they had a horse for big kids.. meet "Raven":

After the horses we continued on to the beach and our first stop was lunch at Crawdaddy's where I tried Alligator on a stick (seriously) and we had a great time. Here is Hailey eating a lemon -

And Mommy talked Jon into a sample also -- After lunch we headed to the beach at Mo's so the kids could play in the sand and get wet.. and they got wet and had a blast doing it.. After the beach we headed back to GG's where we pitched a princess tent in the living room for the girls to have their first ever sleep over.. there were lots of giggles and not much sleeping, worth every minute! Here they are in their tent watching Little Mermaid... The next outing was the carousel.. and as luck would have it -- Billy bob Clinton decided it would be a good time to show up with his daughter Chelsea to talk about his scary wife -- umm, no thanks. We decided to leave pretty quick, it was a frightening crowd of zombies to say the least.

After the carousel fiasco we headed to Jeanne's house for PIZZA! (Padington's of course!) While waiting for the pizza Laura played some piano for us :)

After lunch the boys fell asleep at Jeanne's and she was nice enough to watch all four kids for us so we could go wine tasting. We ended up going to Willamette Vineyards and it was AWESOME!! The wine server (Richard not Robert..hehe) was the best! Not only did he comp our wine tasting, it turned out he was a pediatrician in the military too, what a strange coincidence!! After tasting some wine we got some yummy Gouda cheese, chocolates, and a bottle of Riesling and sat out on the patio to relax and enjoy the view -- here was our spread: As we left I captured Laura getting a picture of the winery ;) When we returned we found all the kids happy and healthy.. and Jeanne wasn't frazzled at all -- can you tell by the look on her face? Nah.. no problem. LOLAnd now I reach the end of a very fun, but way too short week. And to sum things up --

Plane tickets to Oregon.. $XXXX (I don't want to know)

A trip to Enchanted Forest $XXXX (You don't want to know)

New friendships... Priceless.

We will sure miss you guys. XOXO
