This last week was our Spring Break, and the kids and I were able to go see DeAnna on Monday on her day off. We drove down Sunday evening after dinner, and the kids woke up at 6:20 in the morning the next day. Luckily Avery had brought her alarm clock from home, who wouldn't, so she remembered that they were all supposed to stay in their room until seven. Not that that meant I went back to sleep.
DeAnna and I took the kids to Forest Park in Portland to walk to the Witch's House, which is actually the remains of a public restroom built in the fifties. It was considered obsolete pretty quickly after it was built and abandoned until it is was you see today. Google it if you want to find out why it's called the Witch's House. The kids loved playing in it and called it their castle.
We also drove around Portland and took in the sights. In honor of Beverly Cleary's 100th birthday we drove up Klickitat Street and tried to decide where Ramona Quimby and Howie Kemp's respective homes might be. Avery and Harper both wanted to have lunch at Burgerville because they give out seeds with their kids meals.
