Memorial Day means family day

Today was a nice day. Ben had the day off and we took full advantage of it. We woke up and Ben of course had to get his mocha. Then we taught the kids how to play Connect Four. About 8:30 we headed out for breakfast. I love to eat breakfast out. We decided to drive to Silverton to see what they had and to go on an "adventure." Silverton may not have had what we wanted to eat BUT there were fields of white clover, red thistle and orange poppies! Be-U-T-FUL. Next we headed to West Salem. SOOOO, one hour after leaving our house we were finally ordering food. After a large and very yummy breakfast we came back and Ben took the kids on a hike while I took a nap. :) Now Ben is taking a nap while I played memory with the kids and am trying to keep them quiet. Later today we are going to go to Paddingtons. I love Paddingtons (there pepperoni and olive pizza) but NEVER EVER go there. So this is a special thing for me. What a great day!

I'm glad you had a nice family day. Levi & I were just talking about how nice it was to spend time together as a family this weekend. After church on Sunday, we ditched the Wilson lunch & spontaneously headed to Pioneer Park to play and eat. I went to A&W while Levi took the kids on a hike at the park. It was great spending time with him and the kids. I'm glad you had a day like that too. :o)

I should add that I came back to the park with the food from A&W and we ate together. hehehe, it sounded like I left him with the kids and took off for lunch by myself.

What FUN!! Though I'm not sure about the McD's instead of a dinner....
Where did you go eat at in West Salem?

I heard of a garden place in Shaw that has cheap plants!! So when you are ready to plant your garden you need to go there.
