Washington!

Sadly most of my videos won't download. Once Aaron is done with the Bar (next week!!!) I will ask him to help me lower the quality so it with upload. Anyway, Washington was quite the whirlwind experience! Caroline and I had a great time. Michael and Jenny ran off to Paris for an extended weekend and I watched their sweet kids for them. Thankfully Lou was there to help me!

We went to Multnomah Falls. It was beautiful. It is the nation's second tallest year-round waterfall. We did not attempt the mile or so hike to the bridge with 3 kids under three. It was tough enough crossing the street. The sun was right above the waterfall so I didn't take a picture of the top. We did hike up another waterfall and the girls loved the water splashing on their faces. They kept saying it was raining.

They would not turn around at the same time and smile so this is what you get!

We also went to Pioneer Day at the church on Saturday. Lou helped Avery get her face painted and play in the bounce house forever. Caroline and Logan just ate chicken and watermelon. Well Logan only ate the watermelon but he loved it. Sunday was church. I will try not to mention that Caroline peed out of her diaper twice in an hour! It was dry before too. She just drinks a ton of water!!! Thank goodness I was wearing a cotton skirt, because yes, she was sitting on my lap both times. At least Logan and Avery loved nursery.

We took Lou to the airport on Monday morning. I should have taken a picture. I had Logan in the front pack and Caroline and Avery in the double stroller. You should have seen the looks I got at the airport!! And stares! I went in to help Lou make sure she got through to security. Every time I was in the elevator I had to say they are not all mine and I am not traveling. The people laughed with almost relief for me. It was crazy.

Here are the 3 kids asleep on the way home. I took advantage of the 15 minutes of quiet time.

Logan is too adorable and I could take him home with me today. Caroline had to get used to his overly excited bursts of screams. But now everyday she asks for him. Signs Logan and the says "shh." And I say yes Logan is sleeping.

A not posed shot of morning time. It was too perfect and even more perfect that I had the camera on the counter.

We had a wonderful time. Caroline and Avery just screamed and laughed together. They are going to be such good friends. I'm so glad that Caroline was able to spend that time with her. A big change to go from 1 child to 3, but Avery was very helpful. It is nice that someone can truly communicate back with you. And she is an angel. I would do it again in heartbeat... of course with Lou to help me too!

Now I am off to Utah in 45 minutes! Family Camp, here we come!
