Aunty Chelsea comes to visit (Part I)

My little sister, Chelsea, arrived just this last Tuesday for a long 2 week visit! We have loved having her every second she's been here! Brooke has even taken a fond liking of her which we think is great! She's letting her hold her, play with her, feed her, pick her up, etc. etc.!! We can't believe it, but are so happy that Brooke came around real quick.

Here are some photos of our goings on for the last few days.


Chelsea and Gordon having fun grilling from our borrowed charcoal grill from John & Marilyn (THANK YOU!!--We've used it 3 days in a row!)

One day, we made these AMAZING grilled bbq chicken pizzas

Saturday, we headed to all the waterfalls that are around us. This is the biggest/most popular : Multnomah Falls. We hiked up to the bridge. Chelsea thought it was really cool.

Walking down from the bridge. Artsy candid shot Chelsea took. I like it.

Precious! Family shot by the bridge. We took one similar about a year ago and Brooke was so small compared to now! And, my hair looks red. I need to dye it.

Saturday night after turkey burgers, we roasted marshmallows and made s'mores to make sure they were good for our trip to the coast. So excited to have a fire on the beach with the waves in the background eating s'mores with my family. 

Chelsea approved!

Sunday night, we got together with some family and snacked on treats and played around. It was chilly but a lot of fun! 

Coming up this week: Gordon looking for work AND heading to the coast on Wednesday. It'll be a nice vacation for us with some family and friends! So glad Chelsea can come with us to stick her feet in the Pacific!
