Emma and her dear friend Leni took in an afternoon at the theater, catching a showing of "If you give a Mouse a Cookie". They enjoyed the play, but I think enjoyed the after-show ice cream even more!
We had one last get together with the gang to celebrate Gen/Jimmy/Elias/& Lucas's time in Oregon. They are moving back to Canada at the end of the month. It turned out to be a lovely evening with friends, although a few tears were shed when saying our goodbyes to our dear friends. They will be missed!
We headed out for a wonderful Sunday bike ride on Mothers day this year. It was the first Sunday Parkway of the summer season, and it was beautiful. For Sunday Parkways, about a 6 mile loop is closed off to car traffic, and opened up to bikers, walkers, runners, etc. They have many fun activities to partake in at the various parks along the route...such as eating ice cream while watching some bike polo, learning a new circus trick or too....and of course, biking around the city!
We recently went to a silent auction fundraiser for a project Ken is managing at work. Emma joined us for the evening, and was the highest bidder on some new summer "toys". We decided to invite Cash and Elias over to take the toys for a test drive. Much fun was had by all!
Emma's friend Peter came over to play today, and he came packing with some superhero gear. I think their super hero powers are to bring a smile to your face!
