Last weekend we were blessed with a visit from Susan and Christy! They flew into town on Friday afternoon. Saturday I took them to Powell's bookstore (something that was on Christy's bucket list) and then of course we had to hit the food carts. I had my favorite Indian food... YUM!
While we were hanging out downtown, Steve took the kids to OMSI. They did the submarine tour, which we had never seen before. It sounds like it was definitely a hit with the kids!
Then that evening we took in dinner and a movie at Cinetopia. We watched Thor 2, which was really entertaining (read: Chris Hemsworth).
The next day we decided to take a little road trip to Multnomah Falls. It was pretty stinking cold out, but it was SO beautiful. Definitely a photo opportunity!
We hiked to the first bridge, and then decided to try the STEEP hike up to the top of the falls. Paige made it about half way up before she was DONE. Christy kindly stayed with her. Garrett made it a little farther... about three quarters of the way up. So I had to turn around with him and take him down.
But, Molly (and Steve and Susan) made it ALL the way to the top... about 700 feet in elevation gain! I was really proud of her for powering through, and Christy was so kind and bought her a T-shirt to commemorator the hike!
Our last day was MUCH more laid back and included some errands and crafting (making Sashay scarves). The twins were obviously tired (read: throwing fits) so it seemed best to stay close to home. After a crazy drive through traffic, we safely delivered them back to the airport for their flight home! It was a fabulous visit and I'm looking forward to seeing them in January when I make the trip down south!
