That weekend was Mother's day weekend and we headed to Corvallis Friday afternoon. The kids were super excited to go to CiCi and Baba's house as we had not been there since Christmas. We spent a quiet evening at CiCi and Baba's house playing.

The next day we got up and got ready to go hiking at Mary's Peak. The kids were excited because Pumpkin got to travel in our car and she fit perfectly between the kids' carseats. Pumpkin was excited to go with the kids. We reached Mary's Peak and the weather was great. We hiked up to the top of the peak and the views were so pretty. Then we hiked back down and had a picnic lunch. After lunch, we headed off to another part of the peak where we were able to see more views of the valleys below. Then we drove back home and rested for a bit and then went out to dinner at Block 15 Brewery for my birthday dinner. We got to eat outside and the food was great. We had a lot of fun.

On Sunday (Mother's Day), Sean and I had a great workout first thing in the morning. Then Sean made a yummy's Mother's Day brunch of french toast with fresh strawberry sauce and we had Mimosas. We got to eat breakfast out on the deck. The kids gave me some really cute homemade Mother's Day presents from school including a beautiful watercolor calendar Brandon made, Mother's Day coupons from Olivia, and a cute Poster that Olivia made at school. We also gave Cici her Mother's Day present: Flowers and a Coffee mug with pictures of the kids and CiCi from the eclipse and other fun hiking adventures we did with CiCi and Baba. Afterwards we took the kids to the park and then headed back to the house for lunch. Then we had to pack up and go home. It was a really fun weekend.
