Mom Comes for a Visit

On Wednesday we went up to pick up my mom at the airport. We only had to go to Bellingham and not to Seattle. You gotta love Allegiant Airlines for that!

The weather was a little rainy, but we decided to drive into Fairhaven and take her around there. We found a Mexican restaurant there to eat lunch. I wouldn’t recommend it though. It was called Dos Padres. The food was okay, but it wasn’t authentic like our favorite restaurants in Skagit Valley. We should have guessed because I noticed right away that none of the workers were Mexican.

We shopped through all the fun shops there and even caught the Fairhaven Farmer’s Market. We drove over to Boulevard Park so the girls could look for crabs and play at the playground. Mom bought me a coffee at Woods there. It was a perfect afternoon. The weather cleared up just in time for us to hang outside without getting drenched.

I had a meeting that night, but Mike wanted to take the girls to run in the “All Comer’s Track Meet” in Burlington. It is a meet that happens every Wednesday for six weeks in a row. The girls enjoy the races and feel so proud of themselves. My mom got to see them run.IMG_5474

On Thursday mom took us out to lunch at my favorite Chinese restaurant. I LOVE the Mongolian beef at the China Wok. We end up going there whenever my mom comes to town.

We also had to do a little shopping all around to prepare for Kelby’s birthday party the next day.

We made a cake that night and Kelby decorated it herself. She wanted a lemon cake, so we made something lemony out of lemon pudding and a yellow cake mix frosted with lemon cream cheese frosting. It turned out pretty yummy!
