This last weekend Nick ditched us for "Guy's Weekend" but Deven and I weren't concerned, we were invited to an exclusive party in Walla Walla at the home of a two year old named Hadley. Deven and I practiced learning to say Hadley and Walla Walla all 4 of the 5 hours it took to drive to the party (he slept for one of the hours). He may have learned the words 'Milk Truck' as well but if you know Deven and his favorite thing in the whole world (trucks) this isn't a big stretch! The drive went surprisingly well. I strategically passed snacks, lunch and drinks to the back seat and Deven seemed generally OK. The last 45 minutes were pretty tense but we made it!! We rolled into Walla Walla with plenty of time to get used being in a new place, grab some more snacks and help set up the coolest party entertainment I have seen - one of those huge air filled play houses. It was three hours of marsh mellows, cookies, pink fairy princes cake and mama juice (a.k.a., wine)! There were far more grown ups than children (I think) and I have to say there was equal fun to be had. The Block's throw a killer 2nd birthday I can't wait to celebrate Jame's 1st and Shan's 30th in May!!
Deven and I are thankful for all the presidents that have run our country and for those in the Federal Government that decided to make celebration of them an official holiday. We extended our stay until mid Monday so we got in a really good visit.
We even got to participate in a weekly play date. We met a bunch of mom's and kiddos at a Bread Company - Deven and I were of course very OK with this - and after a snack we headed to one of many cute parks to play and get crazy outside.
We had such a great time - after having a 12hour flight between our families for a few years I will definitely take a five hour drive any weekend to be able to visit with the Blocks. May can't get here soon enough!!
