Dennis and Gabe came to visit for a few days last week.  Abby had to go back east for a class she needed to keep up her certificate, so she didn't come with them.  We packed a lot of family time into our short time together.  Day 1 was so fun watching the cousins get to know each other.  

 Day 2 we walked to the park and played on the swings and in the Spray Pad. 

We ended that day with a BBQ for the whole family to get to see them at one time.

Day 3 we took a Dixon family hike into Wahclella Falls.  It was a short hike that was just perfect for the little ones to have a good time.  Of course I took advantage of having everyone in one place and got a family shot.

Wahclella Falls, Columbia River Gorge, Oregon

It is always so amazing when I have all three together.  

After our hike, we came back to the house and had dinner and then went on an after dinner walk to the lake.  This family is so awesome!!!

After the little walk, we made a school outfit shopping trip with Gabe.  Emily and I took him.  He picked out a shirt first thing...and nothing else would change his mind from the first shirt. So we brought it home.  Dennis took one look at that shirt and made a little chuckle.  Yep...Gabe already had that shirt and he really loves it. So much that he wanted another one.  So Day 4, it was time for them to head back to their home.  But first we traded in the shirt for one just like it but a different color.  A hug to his little cousins and it was off to the airport.  I just wish there was a way to all live closer!  But isn't that what all mothers want?
