Pomerleau Family Blog: A Belle Birthday Party and A Girl's Weekend

The weekend after Olivia's dance recital, Brooke and I had planned to go to Lincoln City with the girls for a night for a girl's weekend. The girls had so much fun last year that we decided to go again this year. Olivia got invited to her friend Kennedy's birthday party the morning we were going to leave so we went to her birthday party and then I was going to pick Brooke and Addie up and we were going to head to the beach right after the party.

Kennedy's birthday party was at Play Boutique in Lake Oswego. Her mom had rented out the entire place and had brunch type food. Kennedy had a surprise too-Belle came to visit her and spent a whole hour with the girls telling them a story, painting their faces, and then was there when Kennedy got sung Happy Birthday. Olivia loved seeing Belle and spending time with her friends from Rocking Horse. It was a really fun birthday party.

After the birthday party, we headed over and picked up Brooke and Addie. Then we all rode together to Lincoln City. We packed the girls a lunch and they ate in the car. We headed to the outlet mall first on our way in and had a lot of fun at Carters, Gymboree, and Ann Taylor Loft. The girls were getting tired of shopping and hungry so we had a early dinner at Rusty Truck Brewery and after dinner we checked into the hotel. We stayed at Surf Tides this time since they had rooms with an extra bedroom so we could stay up later and scrapbook and they had a indoor pool and were right on the ocean. The only bummer thing is that they did not allow the kids into the hot tub and were super strict about it and there was no free breakfast. The kids did get little toys when checking in and it was super nice to be able to walk down to the beach. Our room also overlooked the ocean. We took the girls down to the beach and played on the beach for a bit. Then we headed back to our hotel and the girls changed into their swim suits to go swimming. The swimming pool was nice and warm at least. The girls had fun swimming and then we headed back to the room to get ready for bed. I read to the girls both Uni the Unicorn books which they enjoyed and then they actually went to sleep pretty quickly. Brooke and I got a few hours to scrapbook which was nice.

The next day Olivia slept in until 9:00 AM! It was awesome! I think she was tired from all the late night with the dancing. We went to Starbucks for breakfast and then came back and the girls went swimming before we had to check out. We drove down to the Christmas Cottage and the girls had a blast picking out matching beach ornaments. Brooke and I love that place, so cute and festive even in June. We then headed back towards our hotel and went to the beach at our hotel for a while. The girls had playing in the sand and then we got some lunch on our way out of town. We stopped off at Sokol Blosser where we are wine club members on our way back and enjoyed some wine tasting. The girls had fun coloring. Then we dropped Addie and Brooke off at home. It was a really fun weekend, with a lot packed in. Maybe next year we need to do 2 nights!
