Sean and Eunice's wedding celebration!


This past weekend we got to celebrate with our friends Sean and Eunice at their wedding! With help from our nanny, my brother and his wife, and a babysitter, we were able to trust that our kids would be okay back home for the weekend. Based on the photo below, can you guess what airport we flew to?



We flew from Provo to Portland! I guess this carpet has been teased as very ugly and it was a trend a while back to take photos of your feet with the carpet when you pass through the Portland airport on social media. Most of the carpet has been replaced at the airport and the Portland airport has also been significantly beautified since. 

We got to see many people we love. On Saturday before the meet and greet at the wedding, we were able to hike a section of the Pacific Coast Trail, a trail that goes thru the United States from Mexico to Canada (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Crest_Trail) with our friend Dan. 


The connection of us to Sean and Eunice and a subgroup of the guests at the wedding was that we all worked in the Seattle area several years ago and got together at parties, board game nights, and dinner groups. We took a Seattle photo of our crew at the wedding (that I hope to update this blog with when I receive it) but for now it's probably good enough to share that it was a lot of fun reuniting with old friends. We spent the weekend in Sisters Oregon (with a small drive over to visit Bend), and it was full of meals with friends (including this cute couple who now have two beautiful children together: https://mrdandmrsm.blogspot.com/2018/10/matthew-and-camilles-wedding.html).

The groom, Sean, moved to the east coast a few years ago and we have missed seeing him; however, when he was back in town a couple years ago, he invited us to join him on a camping trip. We had been camping with him several years prior, so it was fun for David and Neil to camp out with him near Mount Rainier. We've always appreciated Sean's love for the environment and appreciation of nature and the outdoors.

We are happy for Sean and Eunice to be married now and to have been able to experience their wedding and wedding ceremony with them. Sean is incredibly genuine and thoughtful and we are glad he's found someone who values and adores him. Can't wait to see what their future holds for them.

Camping Adventure at Penrose Point State Park

This past weekend Mr. D and I went camping at Penrose Point State Park with a family we have been friends with for almost three years! We decided to carpool there together with our camping gear and all seven of us in their van. After we got there, we made hotdogs for dinner, s’mores and cobbler for dessert, and enjoyed spending time together in front of the campfire. The following morning we walked over to the water and had fun discovering crabs in the rocks. Here are some of the photos from the trip: Checking out an alive sand dollar  Looking for crabs on the water  Crazy tree and roots This was the website we used to book the reservation: https://washington.goingtocamp.com/PenrosePointStatePark -Mr. D and Mrs. M

Our Backyard Chicken Adventure

Back in February I told David we should get chickens! He told me the egg shortage would end soon and that we wouldn't save any money having chickens. He was 100% right (there are a lot of fixed costs with raising chickens like building a coop and run, but afterwards the expenses are not too bad) and the chickens have been a lot of fun. Turns out there was a lot I didn't know about chickens and I greatly enjoyed learning about them!  For example, I learned the following: Why are grocery store eggs white? Most eggs we eat come from white leghorn chickens, which lay white eggs, but different chicken breeds lay different colors. Meat Chickens vs. Egg Chickens - Humans have cared for chickens for a long time. Some chickens are bred for their meat (think Cornish cross) and others for their eggs. David and I are not excited about processing chickens, so instead we went for chickens that are egg layers. Egg production vs. Collecting the rainbow of egg colors - We decided we wanted a mi...

Neil's friends visit

  Our friends from Seattle were in town visiting for a work conference in Park City and they stopped by our home and stayed with us for a day. We loved seeing them and getting to have our boys play together. There was a lot to do at our home-- play with legos, practice baseball, enjoy the chickens, and read together. Hope to have them visit again next time they are here for a work trip or to ski.
