On Memorial Day we all decided it was time to have a Hoisington Day of Fun. One of the grand kids saw some pictures of us all playing at a Park about 5+ years ago. So we all decided to do it again. We all went up to Port Townsend and visited 2 of our favorite parks. It was a wonderful Day! We can't wait for the next time we all get together.
After the Ape caves we made our way down to Corvallis Oregon.My cousin who is 4 years older than me has a wonderful place down in Corvallis. Not to mention two wonderful children that happen to Miley and Belle's ages. The kids were so anxious to get there to see them. We try and get together at least one to two times a year. So we made plans to visit and we had so much fun.
The other wonderful part about visiting Harmony and Dan is Harmony is a horse trainer. They have a fabulous barn with 50 stales and many horses to ride. Along with a lot of other girls there just taking care of their own horses. My girls love it. They all rode this year even Lydia. I was even able to go for a trail ride on their 40 acres with my Dad's baby sister Erin. It was fantastic.
The kids swam in their pool. Played hide and seek in the tall grass in the dark. Rode on a golf cart, which my 1st cousin once removed Tanner drove all over the property with my girls. They will always remember that. It was working pretty slow so don't worry. They watched movies, played dress up, rode bikes, picked berries and just had fun. When the kids picked the berries we thought we would all share the berries by making shakes with them. The kids were so mad that we had used the berries they said those were for us and they were plotting to get revenge. In the end Kyle went with them and picked more berries. They all had the shakes they were SO wanting. It was pretty funny!
When we were there it was also my Cousin Amber's 15th Birthday. We all went out to Panda's Express her favorite place to eat. Then we came back and had Cake and Ice Cream and the kids made her some pretty cute cards. Amber we had so much fun.
I also learned how to play this really fun Board game called Ticket to Ride. It was so much fun. I also learned how to play a game called James Bond. It was all really fun and I loved it. Since Kyle doesn't like board games that much it was nice to have someone to play with.
In the end we had a great time with my Cousins and Aunt. We love to visit with our family. We are looking forward to next time we can all get together. We sure love you all.
