Valerie

Valerie came to visit us over the Memorial Day weekend. It was so much fun to have her visit us. We went to the Rose Gardens, but no roses were in bloom yet, but it was still fun to walk around the beautiful gardens.

We had fun visiting several parks. I'm sorry that most of the pictures are of Desmond. Hobbes was too busy running all over the place with Daddy.

At Laurelhurst Park near our home, Hobbes started following two boys around. They were playing "Spies". It was funny to see them play together. If I remember right, I think they were spying on a little girl that was on the other side to the park. She had a wand with a star at the top that they were trying to get back.

Here is Brendan reading a book to Hobbes at Powell's Books.

Mom and Dad came over to visit with some of the Kunzler cousins to see Valerie and to have a joint birthday party for Dad and Hobbes. Val and I made some yummy food. She made a wonderful cake and ice cream (sadly, we didn't take any pictures of the food).

Thanks again for visiting us Val! We had lots of fun! We love you!
