UPDATE overload

My my it has been awhile since the Campos clan has updated. Alot has happened and I admit it is laziness that got in the way. Since Easter, Mama and Papa came up to visit and we celebrated Mama's Bday up here. We had lots of yummy food and my parents and Gma Belle came over as well. Inay joined us on Skype. Emma showed them the ropes in Salem on this trip taking them to her usual hangouts. Wednesday is her library day followed by a trip down to the carousel and a visit to Mommy's work for lunch. Thursday she took them to the local Toys R Us and got a new train set. Friday was a kick back day BUT Saturday we showed them what a Portland outing is like. We started our day off early, leaving the house at around 9:30 a.m. Our first stop was to my parents house to say goodbye then off to Fred Meyers to do some banking, grab some snacks, and Emma's free cookie. We headed to Hmart to do some korean grocery shopping, grab some lunch, and marinated squid to take back to the Bay Area. Next was to Blumenthals for Papa to get some postal uniform stuff and than we headed to OMSI. We toured the Da Vinci exhibit, life science, and the play area. After OMSI we drove to a furniture store over by PDX and than to Ikea. After Ikea we grabbed dinner at Panda Express and got some Frozen Yogurt for dessert. To bad we can never go back there, thanks to Papa. Ask him for the details. LOL

After we ate, we dropped Mama and Papa off at the airport. It was sad to see them go and wished they could have stayed longer. We were going to go back home but decided to make a stop at the Costco in Hillsboro to check out some furniture deals. I know what you must be thinking, why all the furniture places? Well we got our tax refund (thanks Obama) and badly need furniture to fill in our house. We brought the furniture from our 1100 sq. ft apartment into our 2811 sq. ft house. Lets just say everything we owned fit into our kitchen and family room ONLY! Haha

Okay back to our trip, after Costco, Eden wanted to go to the japanese grocery store to buy a movie she wanted and Albert wanted to go to the boba place. After that, we made our final stop at Bridgeport. So after 12 stops, 12 hours later we finally made it home. Our girls were great, no crying, whining, or tantrums. It will be awhile till we do another trip like that again!

BTW: Happy 21st Birthday Nikki!
