I had such a great weekend with my parents! Their flight came in around 8am Friday morning and I took the day off to pick them up and maximize our weekend time. We had an early lunch and then did some shopping (well my Mom and I shopped while Dad found things to do).
We hung out at the house a bit, walked the dogs in the park, and picked Erik up from work. That night we had dinner at Thyphoon and my parents enjoyed their first thai food experience! Mmmm, curry.
Saturday we went to the dog park, hiked around trails near the house, did some baking, and enjoyed a nice dinner at home. Sunday their flight left around 5pm, but we found time to check out the Hoyt Arboretum (its HUGE!), go out to lunch, and do a little shopping at Ross. It was so nice being with my parents and showing them around Beaverton/Portland. Unfortunately Erik didn't participate in any outdoor stuff because his big toe hurt...seems a little silly but it apparently really hurt.
Another highlight of the weekend is that I acquired my Grandparent's Kitchenaid mixer, which is 27 years old and works great! I love it for two reasons: 1) Its a kitchenaid mixer! 2) I can think of my Grandma and Grandpa every time I use it. It was my Grandpa's birthday yesterday, it would have been his 86th, and so using it to make pumpkin pie with my mom was extra special.
I will have to wait until I can get pictures from my mom's camera because I didn't take any!
