our last full day in snoqualmie...  we had a great morning at fox hollow farm in issaquah.  it's one of my favorite places in the area.  hanna, brooke & gavin rode horses and a little train.  they saw animals and swung from ropes up in the attic of the barn.  we had a delicious lunch in the garden and enjoyed the peacefulness of the morning on the farm.  it was laid-back and low-key and a great way to wind down our long visit.

this evening anastasia invited the neighborhood ladies over for wine & dessert after we enjoyed an al fresco dinner with the kids.  lisa alteo, lisa connors and jen barnes all made it, and i enjoyed catching up with everyone.  it was a great evening, and ryan was kind enough to get the kids bathed and ready for bed so i could enjoy an uninterrupted evening with friends.  we are so blessed to have friends who feel like family... friends who welcome us into their home, feed us, take care of our kids and go out of their way to make us happy.  how lucky we are!
