On Memorial Day we ate breakfast at Jam and then biked to Ben's work. We left our bikes there and walked up to the Rose Garden in Washington Park. We had a wonderful time wandering around enjoying the thousands of roses there. Lily especially loved dancing around the little fountains and pools and striking a pose at the end. After the Rose Garden we went back to Ben's work to eat snacks, play foosball, and nap on the couch. :)
We spent a day in June at the Enchanted Forest, an amusement park south of Portland. Since I am pregnant I couldn't go on any of the rides with the kids. Luckily we went with our amazing friend, Jennifer, who is more like an aunt to the kids than anything.
Lily is usually our adventurous child. She loves going on fast roller coasters and swinging high. Tommy doesn't typically like the adrenaline rush and prefers instead to keep his feet safely on the ground.
One of my proudest moments as a mom comes when I see my kids conquer their fears. After declining several invitations to ride other roller coasters my terrified-of-roller-coasters son decided that he desperately wanted to go on the log ride. You can see in the video how happy he was at the end.
He smiled himself to sleep that night thinking about how much fun he had and how proud of himself he was.
Lily recently inherited Tommy's old Spider Man pajamas. Whenever she wears them she feels like she has super powers against bad guys. Below is a video of Tommy and Lily fighting bad guys together. My favorite line is when Lily yells, "Trash can you!"
