Good Bye Grandma and Grandpa. . . And Cousins Too!
Washington
Here are some lasting memories of our trip.
We were able to get our hands on my childhood boat and take the girls out on the Columbia River. This was the first time that their toes touched down in fresh water. The girls were surprised by the cool temps and lack of waves but eventually found their groove. Savannah proved to be most nervous while on the boat. She and I were took a ride behind the boat on the tube and she hated every minute of it. After being on the river with my girls, I realize how different they are when compared to me at a young age. I was up on two skis by the time I was Savannah's age. I was a go-getter while they are Nervous Nellies.
We also went to the local firehouse again. In theory, Adeline loves to look at firetrucks, but in reality they terrify her. Not to worry, Lila made up for Adeline's lack of participation by asking the fireman if she could wear his coat and helmet.
Our lasting impression is always how much our kids love their cousins. They only see each other once a year but boy, do they enjoy them. We are so lucky to have such wonderful family.

The girls' celebrated an early birthday again at my parent's house. We were lucky to have my brother and his family join in on the festivities. Costco was gracious enough to make us a cake with each girls' name and favorite color flower. We sang three different times and let each girl blow out their individual candle. Then, of course, the girls were inundated with a ton of gifts. Lots of Car's toys, Hello Kitty and Cozy Critters.
Adeline's favorite gift was one that we gave her cousin. Angry Birds has a plastic version and is most fun if you play with an older cousin who will build the structure and retrieve your catapulted birds.
