Roundhouse 8/10

Ahhhh..... the sweet Roundhouse... This year we just haven't been going over there that much. Maybe it's the fact that we lived in central Oregon last summer?? But it seems we have begun a yearly tradition of an August weekend with friends (to celebrate our shared anniversaries/birthdays/ect) so we made sure to get over there for that! This year we were joined by the Heimer and Willis family, plus Willis family members visiting from England. Altogether we had five children and eight adults -- a busy house!

We checked out the local fish hatchery:


and Simon lost his tennis ball (it sank!) in the Metoulis


with the Heimers (they are expecting #2!)


and the Willis family:

Back at the 'house:

and I had to take a picture of this, 'cause it fits the stereotype of British with their tea! We had four native Englanders visiting with us, and this is the first time I've ever seen this used. In its proper entireity. :)

In all the activity, Lilah sacked out. I was THRILLED to be able to have some mommy-snuggle-time. Of course, since Lilah doesn't nap anymore, we paid for this siesta that night -- Lilah didn't go to bed until almost midnight!

At Scout Lake:

The Willis family minus Addie:

I was so excited to go and wasn't let down. I'm looking forward to the next trip over!!
