This week Peter took the scouts on a 50 mile hike up around Wallowa Lake. SOOO - we had to make some fun plans so we wouldn't miss him so much! We took our good friend Kim up on her offer to come hang out with them for a few days in Eugene! We had such a good time - we left Tuesday afternoon and that night we went out to an all you can eat buffet (yay for Kim and her coupons!) and then got to go see "Space Chimps" at the cheap seats - it only cost me 4 bucks! 
On Wednesday we went to a fun park and afterwards picked black berries right around the corner from their house - they were so yummy!
Cutie mcCuteness Anna!
Abby and I took a quick phot-op during our intense picking. Charley was taking a nap, so Kim stayed home with her. Porter only lasted a few minutes in the bushes before getting a thorn scrape and he was done for - back to the house!
I couldn't eat blackberries without icecream so Kim generously treated us all! I was in heaven!

On Wednesday night they took us swimming at one of their favorite places. It was less crowded at that time of day and the weather was still warm. There were a couple pools for the kids, a slide, splash area, and a bigger pool too - it was great!

Kim and Charley!
Porter had a major break through - he decided it would be fun to dunk his whole head under! Wow! I was so thrilled for him!
AHH yes, so proud!
Abby and Kenna
Anna and Charley
Part of the crew - so much fun!
Before swimming we went out to Applebees (Wednesdays kids meals are only $1) - it was great, but we sure got a lot of stares - 2 women and 7 kids is almost a freak show! 
Thanks so much Kim for such a fun time and we are so looking forward to our next visit!
