Spring Break – Part 3 “Oregon’s Mile High City”

The next leg of our Spring Break vacation took us to Lakeview!  There isn’t much in this mile high city…for those of you who don’t know where Lakeview is…it is in the far south east corner of Oregon and very close to the California border.  But the trip was more than worth the drive there.! We went to visit Matt, Susie, Mikaila, Sam, Lizzie and Ben…dear family friends that we have not seen for WAY too long. We figured out we hadn’t been to visit in almost 5 years! 

We had a great time hanging out together! The kids really got along well and had a lot of fun playing together. After the kids were in bed in the evenings Matt, Susie, Ammon and I had fun catching up and playing games together. We kept saying how we wished we could have more evenings like these (if we lived closer) and that we couldn’t wait so long to get together next time!

Matt and Susie were great hosts! Fed us unbelievable meals all weekend!  Susie introduced me to German pancakes and this awesome homemade syrup! Awesome! I am definitely going to try the recipe at home!

Here are some pictures of us having ice cream sundaes! on Saturday night!

A beautiful girl with a sweet personality and a very kind friend to Annie! I remember when you were born Mikaila!Spring Break 251Lizzie and Annie had fun together too. They especially loved hanging out in the huge playhouse in the backyard! Spring Break 250

Nathan loved having an older boy around! These boys really loved playing Legos and video games together! I loved hearing Sam play his guitar for the kids a little bit, throughout the weekend. Nathan still talks about his friend Sam!Spring Break 249

Our visit is over…but our friendship has grown deeper and we will look forward to another visit with our families in the future! Spring Break 248
