A Blast

This weekend, we had my good friend Becky in town with her husband Gary and their two kids Andrew (3) and Hope (9 months). Becky and I have been great friends since the fifth grade, and we've been lucky to keep in touch since then! Friday, we drove out to to the tulip festival in Woodburn. It was a blast . . . wait, I better rephrase that - a blast of ice cold air!!! When we left Beaverton, it was cool, but not too bad. When we got there, it was SO windy. We were troopers, bundled up, and walked up a row of the to tulip field. However, when we turned around to head back, we had to walk straight into the ice-cold blaring wind. It was miserable for me, but unbearable for Landon. He was trying to keep his hood on, but the wind was whipping past us so fast that he couldn't. Before long, he was crying, and Davis decided to join in also. Luckily for Becky and Gary, Andrew was appartently oblivious to all of this, and he was running up and down the row, having the time of his life. In the end, I ended up heading back with Landon and Davis while they stayed a little longer for Andrew to play on the hay bales and the horse tire swings. Despite the crazy weather with everything from hail to sunshine, the rest of the weekend was quite pleasant. Andrew and Landon warmed up to each other after about a day, and they had a lot of fun playing together. We hope you come and visit us again soon Becky and Gary!
