My sister came to visit us the weekend of the 14th! It was really fun, and it got off to a great start when I had to be reminded of when she was coming. We picked her up from the airport on Wednesday the 12th, and got frozen yogurt. YUM! There really wasn't much else she her plane came in late! Haha!
Thursday was supposed to be our super fun day in Portland, but timing wasn't with us that day, and we missed out on leaving early to do all that we wanted to do. So we just hung around the house and had fun with the girls!
We picked up Joy and had dinner at RAM (or eatatmommywork if you're Emma).
Typical Campos Family Photo...
Sophie got her first taste of CHOCOLATE CAKE
So, funny story... Eden and Emma were arguing about something on the table, and Emma accidentally spilled my sister's water... all over her! Here is how the conversation went afterward:
Daddy, "Emma did you spill Tita's water?"
Emma, "Yes."
Daddy, "Was it an accident?"
Emma (smiling), "Nooo..."
Friday was finally Portland Fun Day! Our first stop was to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry). We took Inay through a typical day at OMSI with the girls, starting with Turbine Hall and ending in the Science Playground. Eden and Inay got to go through the CSI Experience where they pretended to be CSI on a hunt to figure out who the bad guy was in a mock crime scene. We had lunch at OMSI then headed to Powell's Books! After Powell's was an errand run at HMart, then back home in time to pick up Joy from work! After dinner we watched BFF, a filipino movie that Inay has pretty much got everyone to see. "Don't do anything... I wouldn't do!"
Saturday had an early wake up call with Dutch Bros! We headed down to Detroit Lake with Maw, Paw, and Lara for a day full of boating, fishing and over all relaxing!
Sophie having her first chocolate doughnut. Do you see a trend here?
Eden showing Emma the ropes on how to fish. Emma got a really cool fishing pole from Grandpa! It's a Spongebob fishing rod that has a sinking Plankton at the end of it. Every time Emma cast the rod and reeled it in, she kept saying, "I caught it, I caught it!" What did you catch Emma? "Plankton!"
Emma wanted to eat standing on the table bench. I didn't understand why Lara was standing though.
Albert: "Lara why are you standing on the bench?"
Lara: "Because it's the only way I can get the fork out of the box!"
Emma got to drive Grandpa's boat!!
OK, so where do I begin on this picture. No, Joy was not at a Michael Jackson lookalike contest. Joy was holding Sophie while everyone was at the shore trying to help Paw and me tie down the boat. Joy stepped back and tripped on a huge rock (mind you, the entire shore was covered in rocks). Her awesome maternal instincts immediately kicked in, and she covered Sophie with her arms and body. Joy took the full force of the fall, and Sophie didn't get hurt. But Joy's heroic act cost her a huge scrape on her left leg and a couple of cuts on her right hand (that was holding Sophie's head so she wouldn't get hurt). I'm so proud of my wife!
Most of the day was spent just relaxing, and having a great time. Lara caught a fish, Joy and I went kayaking on our inflatable kayak, and Eden made a couple of new friends. Emma played in the sand and threw rocks into the water. Sophie... slept... for most of the day. :)
After our fun time at the lake, we came home and had MORE FUN IN WATER. Inay brought up our pool that they got for us a while back. We inflated it in our driveway and the kids had a great time in it. Inay did too. Watch the video!

Alas, Saturday dwindled down and it was time to say goodbye to Inay on Sunday. She ended up taking a train from Salem, all the way to Emeryville! 16 hours, that's crazy!
Thank you Inay for coming up. We had such a great time! Can't wait to see the family for Labor Day weekend! Thanks everyone for reading!
