This morning we packed everything up and headed to Black Butte Ranch - 2 hours from Salem. Fox and Jane slept the entire ride.
Chris's family actually used to own the house we rented.
Margi and Tom went through the house, inside and out, and pointed out everything that was the same. It would have been more effective to point out things that weren't the same! In the 15 years that they haven't owned the house it's amazing what's still the same: the carpets, the dishes, the placemats, all the decorations, the grill, the toaster, etc. I don't want to be a pill, but for the price people pay to stay there, you'd think they'd at least update minor things like the placemats! Anyway. It was very special for Tom and Margi to having everything be almost exactly as it was when they owned it. Happy 40th anniversary Tom and Margi!
The Evans Family Moto Banner is hung proud at every reunion!
Jay and his super sweet and nice girlfriend Haylie made sandwiches for everyone for lunch.
While everyone went swimming, I stayed back and hung out with Jane. Doing what she does best!
Jay and Haylie made a delicious dinner of chicken cordon bleu pasta. No pictures, I'm a slacker.
Fox found a baby doll and pointed out all its features. He even started rocking it and tried to "feed" it if you know what I mean. LOL.

We had our own room with a sink and office area. Since we have a hard time sleeping in the same room as Fox (every move we make wakes him up and vice versa) we set up his (or rather, Evelynd's) pack'n'play in the laundry room next door to us. He slept like a dream every night in his deluxe suite!
It was quite the deja vu experience to be back in that house where I spent so much time as a kid and have it almost exactly how it was back then. Thankfully they upgraded the TV and added WiFi! It's good to know the new owners have their priorities straight! :)
ReplyDeleteWhere's the picture of Fox feeding the baby? We need one of those!
