On Thursday we headed over Chinook Pass to Brian's Aunt and Uncle's house. It was a fun day with lots of food, football and family togetherness! Livi especially enjoyed playing in the big backyard...there was a trampoline AND a swing set. She couldn't get enough and thankfully the weather was perfect. Unfortunately we didn't get any family pics, but here are some of our girl enjoying the backyard ammenities!
Brian had to get a shot of the static!
After dinner we drove to Mill Creek, Brian's hometown. We spent the night in a hotel and the next morning met Brian's good friend Sven and his wife Kelly for breakfast. They just had a baby boy Trygve (prounounced trig-vee, it's Norwegian like his daddy's is!). With one of the babies either crying or sleeping we never got a photo of the daddy's and their kids (I could kick myself).
We drove around Brian's old 'hood afterwards. He loves this place and points out all the spots he used to ride his bike, where his school was, who lived on what streets. It's definitely an idyllic place to grow up. Tree lined streets, manicured neighborhoods, beautiful homes with pathways to walk on and a pretty park here and there! Don't get me wrong So Cal had its perks (ie. sun) but this is a neat little neck of the woods to raise a family. Brian said it was a surreal day for him, being in his childhood town, eating breakfast with an old friend as they held their babies...ahhh, don't you love it when the men get sentimental!?
Defintely some days to be thankful for!
