The Trosts

Tyler accused me today of taking a lot of pictures.
He's right.
But I especially take a lot of pictures when it is the first time somewhere or doing something.
Today was our first time in the Trost's backyard.

It is an amazing backyard and the kids had a tremendous amount of fun so I just had to take A LOT of pictures!


Brianna loves her friend, "funny Emily"! :-)See the path the girls and I ran up...to an upper level of their backyard that is mostly overgrown with lots of blackberry bushes (which is not a bad thing, we love blackberries!)...and it has a view of Mt. Hood! We can't see Mt. Hood very well today because of the clouds (notice just a part of snowy mountain through the trees when I zoomed in)...how cool is that? They have a house with a view! Actually it was Emily and Lindsay that had a house with a view when there was a play-house up here. Now it is Lindsay's excavation site.
What a view from up here...and we even got to see the Ridgegate neighborhood peacock!

Dom and Bri had fun in the jump house, wrestling and taking down Space Ape. We need to get one of these so they don't jump on the couches, wrestling each other.

Dom had fun playing wii, of course, but if you spend too much time playing wii you might end up in the pool!
Back to playing wii. The girls got in the pool, the boys were wimps today! ;-)

Lindsay is wearing her rocker-girl outfit to perform a song & dance with her friend. She loved holding Isaac. I am looking forward to coming back over on a hot day to play in the pool and relax in the comfy porch swing. Ahhhhh....
