We took a trip Memorial Day weekend over the mountain to visit Grandma Deedee and Grandpa Dick in Welches, OR. From there, we day tripped over to Mount St. Helens. It's been many years since I've been to St. Helens, and Mat has not seen the mountain since it erupted. The weather was a little chilly, but the spring scenery was beautiful. The boys were pretty excited to see a volcano, but I think were a little disappointed when they discovered there was no hot lava. We did see steam rising out of the crater, though. We drove to the Johnston Ridge Observatory and had a great view into the crater. We are looking forward to returning when the snow is gone so we can hike up to the ridge.
After out trip to mount St. Helens, Mat and I headed back to Boise for a quiet week without the boys. They stayed with Grandpa and Grandma in Oregon. The boys did a lot of fun activities with grandma and grandpa, and I think wore them out. Two four-year-olds have a LOT of energy.
Mat and I took the opportunity to see a couple of movies, and visit our favorite restaurants. Unfortunately, I had to work a lot that week, and couldn't take full advantage of the week off, but we still had fun. We sure appreciated grandpa and grandpa taking our little monsters off our hands for a week! :)
