Grandma and Grandpa Come to Visit!!!

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit over Memorial Day weekend, and BOY were they welcomed. The anticipated hour FINALLY came and the kids we bouncing off the walls waiting for them to drive in from the Portland airport! Even Bubba got in on the commotion and started chasing Bug and Tman back and forth through the halls. It didn't stop when Grandma and Grandpa got here either. Bubba had fun playing chase with Grandpa while Bug and Tman went straight to what they love SO much! They made Grandma read to them... This was pretty much night one of their visit! It was so fun to have them come out and see our new home! We weren't the greatest about taking pictures the whole time, but here are a few of the adventures we were able to capture...
On Memorial Day we drove out to the coast to play at the beach (and I was reminded of how well I do in the back seat on road trips...ugh) and got to visit Tillamook. (OF COURSE WE WENT TO THE CHEESE FACTORY!!! )

Kent, Justin and I decided to try and conquer this sand dune on the beach. It was a long and treacherous journey! Brutal. Especially since my lungs weren't 100% to begin with. We got to the little ledge about 3/4 of the way up and decided that was good enough. My lungs were BURNING!!! (Justin had to go all the way...show off..lol) Who WOULDN'T be totally stoked about driving a loaf of Cheese?

We took them to the Carousel in Salem right by the Willamette River. All of the horses were carved by volunteers. AMAZING!!! It was designed to be a project to bring the community together, and everything was volunteer work. Very cool!

We had a blast showing Grandma and Grandpa around Salem and we were so glad they got to come out!
