A visit to the Fillmores always starts with lunch at Burgerville - and it never disappoints!! And there are so many parks to choose from to go and eat your Burgerville treats!
There aren't too many shots of Henry - after we got there, he headed off to Scout Camp - and had a wonderful time - how can Henry be old enough to be earning Merit badges??
The always charming Sully - he is just the cutest little boy!! We call him Silent Sully!
All those years of teaching swimming are being put to good use these days!
In spite of gray skies, we visited the lake, for which Lake Oswego is named.
It was a bit chilly for swimming, but there was basketball, volleyball, badminton, tether ball, ping pong, swings, slides - and a snack shop!!
David was around - but he was especially successful this time at not getting his picture taken!! As always, the cuisine was excellent - we enjoyed many yummy meals at Chez Fillmore.
Phoebe and I also visited Fabric Depot - the country's largest fabric store - it was great - a really excellent selection of fabrics that didn't resemble what you find at Joann's!! I could have hung out there all day!! (And spent even more than I did!!)
This was what we saw first when we arrived, but I didn't think of taking a picture until almost the last day!!
The complex where Phoebe lives is certainly kid-friendly - Calvin could be found biking around most days. And Agnes is mastering the two-wheeler!! We also went to the rec center for swimming and exercising - no slouching for me - Phoebe is a great task-master!!
I cleared out the mending basket - one of my specialties - along with ironing and making aprons. This time I made a birthday dress for Agnes - and one for Kitt too! I did some laundry, but Phoebe seemed to be a step ahead of me - she did hand off books to me - and they were library books - so I had to get them read!!
We trekked out to the coast one day - enjoyed the delights in Seaside before heading over to visit Nebekers.
The cool air and gray skies did not deter the digging and building.
What is it about sand??
It is always wonderful to spend time with Ry and Sarah!!
We went bowling too - Dad beat us all - but Calvin and Henry did pretty well. At least I beat Sully!
It was fun to spend a week being Sully's seat-buddy in the mini-van. And it was great to spend time sleeping-in, reading, napping, watching the Olympics and movies and hanging out with some of our favorite people.
Thanks for a great visit!!
