What can be better on a sunny Sunday than a day at the ball park? Jasmine and I took our friends Lisa and Andrew to see the Oregon Beavers (our local minor league baseball team) play. We enjoyed hotdogs and kettle corn and cotton candy. Although the Beaver’s lost 2 to 4, it was a great day and Jasmine chanted “Let’s go Beavers, lets go!” all the way home.
After the exciting gymnastic’s class we went out to lunch at my favorite Pho restaurant. I had a giant bowl of beef pho which after much effort I was able to finish. Emily had some yummy spring rolls. And Jasmine, who had lunch earlier, did some coloring and exploring under the table for dropped cranyons.
Then we went to Trader Joes to get some groceries, including their wonderful pickles which are… wait for it… only 0 calories and just so tasty. We tend to run out pickles quickly since Jasmine loves them.
Jasmine has been very excited for the last several weeks. But today finally arrived… her first gymnastic class. She seemed quite the natural. They did warm ups, stretches, splits, tumbles, hand stands, bars and balance beam.
Hurray for Easter treats of chocolate, jelly beans, and more chocolate. Jasmine got us up at 6:05 am saying she was so excited to search for Easter eggs. We headed downstairs, and after a gleeful shout about the baskets, she began a hard target search in our living room for those egss. We’re pretty sure she found all of them, but you never can tell. I just made a trip to the fridge and saw an unclaimed egg on the second shelf.
While we were down in Southern Oregon, we drove to Jasmine’s sister Selena’s home for a big Saturday playdate. First off, we took her out to lunch at her favorite restaurant that had huge portions as you can see by the photo of the chocolate cake dessert. We then visited three local playgrounds for some hearty playing. And Selena gave us a detailed tour of her school. It was a wonderful sunny day and we had a lot of fun. And yes, Emily and I both tried out the jump rope which greatly amused the girls.
