A Visit from the Hutchins

We were lucky enough to have our good friends, the Hutchins, come out for a nice long visit the end of May. Despite the especially cold rainy spring this year, we had a fantastic sunny week exploring downtown, playing at Washington Park, hiking Multnomah Falls/touring the Gorge, and just hanging out at home while the kids played. The big kids had a blast playing together in the yard, riding the streetcar together, swimming in the kiddie pool. They are both "thinkers" so related pretty well. Quinn and their youngest played around eachother, and Quinn wanted to be just like A for weeks after they went home. Thanks for coming to visit, friends!

Yay! Hutchins family at Latourel Falls.

Me and my girls. Greg was working alot this week and sadly missed out on most of our adventures. :(
