A weekend away

Today we all just got home from two different trips. Kevin, Madison and Allison went to Portland for a basketball tournament, while Ashley and I went to eastern Idaho for a photography class.

Kevin and the girls had a lot of fun in Portland. Madison played 3 basketball games. Her team didn't win any of the games but it was a great experience to play teams a little out of their league. The girls learned a lot. While they weren't at basketball games they had fun exploring Portland. Kevin took the girls out to eat at The Old Spaghetti Factory.

This was one of Kevin and I's favorite when we visited many years ago. The one in Boise is just not the same. They also did some shopping. We fell in love with Ikea last winter when we were in Utah so Kevin wanted to visit the one in Portland.

I have been looking for something to put at our front entry way. He bought me a shelving unit very similar to this one. I love it. i am so glad that we discovered Ikea. They had a fun time exploring. I wish that it would have worked out that we could have all gone.

Ashley and I headed the opposite direction. We stayed in Chubback at the Poorman's. Ashley played with her cousins while I was in my class. She had the best time with Kylie and Lexie. She didn't even seem too scared of their dog Max.

I am glad that she is starting to get more comfortable with big dogs.

The girls had a great time having a sleep over. I told Ashley she would be sleeping with me but I guess while I was at my class they conspired and convinced Aunt Jill they would all sleep in the same bed. They were so cute in bed together.

It was so nice of the Poorman's to let us stay with them. I learned so much at my class and Ashley got a rare treat to play with her cousins.

It was a bummer that we couldn't all stay together. We all had a great weekend.
