We Love the Egberts!

The only bad thing about the Egberts coming to visit is that they LEFT! Those stinkers. We have been looking forward to their visit for MONTHS. They're just so cute and we love 'em!

They got to Portland on Friday and we spent a few hours chatting and catching up and then went to dinner, Powell's Bookstore, and a very "Portland" ice-cream shop called Salt and Straw. It was a perfect night.

the boys spent 10 minutes in the Goosebumps aisle :)

Jen had to get some books for the baby of course!

such a humongous, amazing bookstore.

probably my favorite picture, ever.

Saturday was a day of sailing! They were so much fun to sail with. Dave wanted to help with EVERYTHING which was so awesome. We love to share our hobby with people that think it's awesome too :) And they even made a sailing playlist full of tunes that set the mood perfectly. They are so cute! It was such a fun day.

I just love her!

Dave was really excited to learn all the technical sailing terms and procedures and so we put him in charge of the jib sail (the sail in the front). He liked to call it "gettin' jibby with it" :) We had to take a video to show how pro he was, but Landon got a little camera shy and "forgot" a few of his lines :)

Sunday we spent the day in Portland--we went to the Rose Gardens, Saturday market, Voodoo dougnuts, and walked along the river.

yep, that's me. Queen Hannah 2013.

Landon went through the garden and found the prettiest rose petals on the ground for me :) 

Every night we played games-- Power Grid, Killer Bunnies (of course!), Scattergories, and True Colors. It was so much fun!

I was a little too excited about winning the game.

They left this morning and we were seriously tempted to slash their tires so they couldn't leave! Landon likes to call them our "soul couple" because we just get along with them SO well and love them so much. We are already planning our next trip together and can't wait to meet their sweet baby girl who will be making her debut in November. She is going to be the cutest.

Thanks so much for coming Jen and Dave! We love you both! And here's proof of how awesome these two are. Please come back SOON!
