We enjoyed the amazing spring flowers in the foreground of our vineyard view. We introduced Matt and Christi to the pleasures of Oregon wine tasting. We started our day at Torii Morr, then to Erath for a tasting and an outdoor picnic overlooking the vineyard and ended at Dobbes/Wine by Joe before heading to the Museum.
Since Mike's brother Matt is a pilot our trip had to include a trip to the Spruce Goose Museum. The boys loved it.
Our day of wine tasting ended with an amazing dinner at the Joel Palmer House. We had not visited there in a while but this was the place were we took our small wedding party the night that we eloped in 2004.
The Joel Palmer House
The Twins - Who's who?
The mushroom soup, complete with a white creme fraiche mushroom drawn in the soup.
We also spent a day at the Zoo.
Waiting for the train
Big happy face from Jack.
The guys had a guy day at the range. Had to shoot those shotguns.
For these cousins it was love at first site.
Bath time was always a fun to do. Jackson got in on the action a couple of times. The girls loved washing his belly and he loved watching them play.
Silly silly kids.
The Princess Castle at Enchanted Forrst - Mattie loved this part.
We had a fun day at the Enchanted Forrest. We visited all the story book stops and Mattie loved the rides. It brought back all kinds of childhood memories and made me excited to be a mommy in the days to come when Jack can enjoy experiences like this.
We visited the park.
Spent lots of time in the mini.
And of course, enjoyed lots of time in the kitchen preparing yummy food.

| Matt Christi's Visit |
Seeing Mike's brother go today was a bitter sweet goodbye. Since we only see them once or twice a year we will have to treasure these new memories with our families being together until the next time.
