Fun Fall Weekend with the Girls

We had the pleasure of the girls company this past weekend. Kathleen dropped the girls off Friday after work then she was off for her "date night" with Brock.


Friday night was movie night at the Tyvand's. I made the girls dinner and let them eat dinner while they watched their movies. After the movies, Uncle Timmy read the girls bed time stories. The girls were so tired after a long week of school and Halloween that they requested to go to bed before Uncle Timmy was done with the story.

After a good nights sleep, the girls were refreshed and ready to take on the day. Saturday started with a good breakfast of cereal, eggs and toast. Uncle Timmy was the breakfast chef.



After the girls finished their breakfast they commandeered Uncle Timmy for piggy back rides around the house. They also played hide & seek and searched the house for "treasure".

The "treasure" they found was a chest full of Auntie Resa's purses. Of course, Uncle Timmy made a point of telling the girls that Aunite Resa has a purse problem.

After a fun filled morning at home, we decided to head to the park. We went to the Rose Garden, which is in Washington Park in Downtown Portland. Kiley was a little tired after a busy morning so, Uncle Timmy had to carrier her until she saw how much fun her sister was having smelling the roses.

Ellis and Kiley discovered a ton of rose petals on the ground so, they decided to collect them. Kiley said the rose petals looked like fairy beds. The girls collected the petals and placed them in the rose bushes and in the trees so the fairies would have a place to rest.

The girls separating the "fairy beds". Can you see the fairy beds in the bush?


Kiley made these lovely fairy beds, the grass is the pillow and the small petal is the blanket.

Of course I had to take some photos of the beautiful fall colors.

I took this photos because Tim has declared this type of tree to be one of his favorites. I am not sure of the technical name but I have always called them weeping willows.



The girls made leaf bouquets.



We ended the day with lunch at the new Rock & Roll Cafe and ice cream at Baskin Robbins.
We had a great time with the girls and cannot wait to do it again. :)

Resa - Great Blog. Your Mother and I were amazed by the fairy beds. Looks like you had you hands full with the girls. I found my wifi key. Too bad I didn't know where it was when you were here. It was actually in front of my nose. Also, you probably had issues with the Brock's clown outfit. K and your Mother did say it was a little scary. Dad
