Fun with Friends

Last week Mommy planned a get together with some of her internet mom friends. The moms talk about us online all the time, so they figured that we should probably meet!!

There were four mommies and eight kids total. We decided to go to the Hands on House to play and then have lunch at the Oregon Dairy. These are my new friends Connor, Emily (she's an old friend!) and Eva. We were all born within one month of each other!



Eva and I loved inspecting the eggs. The ones with cracks had to be thrown away. It was fun tossing all those rotten eggs!


Emily and I very carefully milked the cow. We didn't want to hurt Bessie!
















Eva and I had to make sure that the local restaurants received their share of our fresh corn.


I wasn't quite sure what was going on here. We had to make a thingamajiggy and put it through all sorts of quality tests. It didn't involve princesses or anything sparkly, so it lost my interest quickly!

Speaking of sparkles, I found this stylish vest in the dress up room and proceeded to put on a concert for my friends.

I hope American Idol is still on the air in 10 years - I'm ready for it!

The obligatory photo on Daddy's tractor!

After an hour and a half of playing, we were tired and ready for some lunch!

When the people at the Oregon Dairy saw us coming, they realized quickly that we'd probably need our own room. They put us in the back in a private area! We felt very special :)

Lunch was yummy, but our ice cream took its sweet time getting back to us. We thought that a few rounds of "Ring Around the Rosey" would keep our minds off of the coming treats!

Maisie and I both loved our ice cream!

Claire loved hanging out with all of our new friends, too. We hope to see them all again soon!

A few days later we had another fun outing with friends. This time we went to an air show with our neighbors Tom, Libby, Natalie and baby Lillian. We saw planes to lots of cool tricks, but my favorite part was sitting on Daddy's shoulders so I could see better. I felt so tall!

Mommy's favorite part was the parachuters. They landed on a specific spot on the runway - how did they do that?!?

The pilots did all sorts of cool spins, turns and tricks. When they were finished, the did a drive by so that we could wave to them.

Natalie and I were snug as bugs in a rug in my stroller. Daddy got a good workout pushing us!!

Claire didn't seem to mind the loud planes too much, especially when I ducked under her shade to check on her. I think she really just wanted some of my fries!

It was a hot afternoon, but we had lots of fun with our neighbors!!
