Thanks to Travelzoo we got a great deal on a weekend at Eagle Crest Resort in Bend. All four of us made the 3+ hour drive on Friday and stayed until Sunday. We went to the Petersen Rock Garden, another quirky garden/nursery place and spent a lot of time walking around Redmond and Bend. We had some good breakfasts and some fun days. The weather was cold and windy but Pippa loved being outside so much she didn't care. Liam had fun swimming in the resort pool and Dan enjoyed some hot tub time. I got a much needed massage. We had a great family time. Thanks to Papa Don for watching our puppies and making it possible for us to leave our home for a few days.
Just wanted to write all that really quick because I have some of the cutest pictures you will ever see...right...here...
Also, for all of you family following along, Pippa is still not crawling. She's very close but she can now get to a sitting position on her own. I went in her room the other day to get her out of bed and she was sitting up and waiting for me. We have lowered her mattress so once she starts standing, she won't be able to get out (yet).
