We spent the weekend on the road down in the Vancouver/Portland area. It was a great trip! Elsa loves the Wiggles (Jonas tolerates them but we think he secretly loves them too). We attended a wiggles concert in portland on friday night. The past two weeks Elsa has repeatedly stated her desire to go up on stage and give Jeff Wiggle (the one in the purple shirt) a big hug. We have spent the past two weeks gently suggesting to Elsa that won't happen. During the concert, the wiggles and other dancers come out to the crowd to pick up bones for Wags the Dog and roses for Dorothy the Dinosaur. Elsa had made a home-made rose for Dorthy and Jonas made a dog bone for Wags. As luck would have it, Jeff Wiggle came down our row! Elsa gave him a big high-five and she couldn't stop smiling! What a great time! The show was fun and the kids loved it. We capped the night off with ice cream! It doesn't get much better than this!
The next morning it got even better! We drove out to Battle Ground to visit Grandpa Harold at his bowling alley. He was kind enough to set up the rock and bowl for Elsa and Jonas! Turn off the lights, turn on the music and disco ball lights, and let's bowl! Jonas and Elsa loved it. Elsa got three or four spares in a row! (They used the ramp to help little ones). We then walked from the bowling alley to the Harvest Day parade and saw tons of fire engines, horses, and floats. While watching, Elsa and Jonas's cousins Zack and Kate arrived! It was really special for them to be able to hang out for a bit and play! Grandpa Harold treated us all to a great lunch!
Mari had her 20 year high school reunion later in the evening so we were back on the road home. Elsa and Jonas played with Grandpa Paul and Grandma Jeanne while Mari and Dan reunited with her high school class.
Great times & God Bless,
Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas
