Tutu and Gumpa's House

Jasper and I drove down to Corvallis last week to visit Tutu and Gumpa and return their dog Pepper. It was a great trip. We were blessed with beautiful weather so we played outside as much as possible. Jasper loved riding his little bike around the Chipmunk Place cauldasac and spent a good deal of time collecting sticks, acorns, rocks, and leaves. We also got to go hiking with my mom and some of her friends from church and played at Central Park and Avery Park. My mom and I played three games of scrabble (I won TWO of them! I feel pretty good about myself about that). My parents are in the process of building a house out on Crescent Valley Drive. It is going to be beautiful. My dad is SOOO excited about the barn and the soil at their new place. He can't wait to start growing a big garden.He's already using the barn to build 2 canoes. He's such a great dad. I love him. My poor mother was sick with a kidney stone while we were there. She was such a trooper, though, hosting us and playing with Jasper. Jasper sure loves his Tutu and Gumpa.

I only took two pictures the whole time I was there. They are of Jasper playing at Avery Park:

AVERY PARK! What a fun park. I remember that was one of our fav's growing up. remember that spooky house there? Kids used to say it was haunted. It was painted lime green and all the windows had bars in it?

And mom said when she was little they had a bear pit there! Oh Avery has come a long way.
