Vacation Days 5-7 - April 29 - May 1

We spent vacation days 5 to 7 at Chelsey's house.

Sunday, April 29 

We went to church with them. We got to see how small their ward was, but how many friends and Chelsey have including Arlee. She has a very cute best friend her age and it was fun to see her run around with her. 

Their ward had a "Linger Longer" after church. We had a potato bar and got introduced to people in their ward. 

We had a nice home cooked meal that night and went on walk. Nice and relaxed. 

Monday, April 30th

Hans went back to work, so we did everything without him. We wanted to go for a walk along the river and have a picnic at the park. Well, we went for a walk but the weather didn't work out. It got really cold and windy. So we ended up going for a picnic at McDonald's. It had a slide that we had promised Arlee she could go on like at the park. 

Me and Lydia at McDonald's. Check out her BLUE eyes!

After lunch, Chelsey drove us around Yakima to see the orchards. Well, I got sick and we had to end the ride early. We ended up playing some kind of video games that afternoon, made home made chicken soup, and cookies that night. 

While Matt was playing, Chelsey decided to be funny and chase Arlee through the house with the bumbo on her head, which Arlee loved and I caught on camera.

Tuesday, May 1st. 

Chelsey had to drive us back to Portland Airport, 3 hours away, so we took our time to get ready that morning. Loaded up the car and went to a old fashioned soda fountain shop. 

Chelsey was brushing Arlee's teeth that morning, but by "playing dentist". The last time Arlee went to the dentist, Arlee wouldn't open her mouth, so the dentist told Chels to practice "dentist" with Arlee. 

This last video is Chelsey asking Arlee about Matt. It took a bit to come up with her answer. 

We had lunch or icecream or both. After our little stop, we spent the next 3 hours in the car. Lydia slept most of the way and Arlee listened to the CD of Disney songs that Matt picked out of Chelsey's music.

Chelsey dropped us off at the airport, we hugged each other goodbye and we parted.

I missed the noise of the girls already! It has been nice looking back at the pictures and writing the posts. Chels tell Hans to hurry and find a job closer. Miss you and the girls and even Hans! I want to see them grow up!
