Spring Piano Recital

The girls' spring piano recital was held outdoors at Cook Park this year. This group photo shows some, but not all, of the performers. The girls both did a fantastic job on their songs!


Emily played "Happier Than Ever" by Billie Eilish. 

 
Lauren played "Enchanted" by Taylor Swift. 


Taekwondo Festival

 
Emily and Lauren participated in a regional taekwondo festival in West Linn... they did a great job and had a lot of fun. 

The girls were in a special group performance at the end of the festival. We enjoyed watching them!

Hamilton Musical and Lexi

We went to see the musical Hamilton at the Keller Auditorium in April.


Photos were not allowed during the performance, but this is what the stage looked like beforehand. It was a great show!


Lexi folded in half and napping. 


Resting in her flap bed. 


All smiles after playing with her flamingo toy :)

Disneyland Trip

We went on a long weekend trip to Disneyland in April... we flew out on a Thursday evening. 


View of Anaheim at night from the plane. 


We stayed at the Grand Californian Hotel... I remember the girls sitting in these chairs when they were little!


We splurged and ordered room service for breakfast.




Justin and the girls at the entrance area of Disneyland. 


Emily was excited to drive her own car at Autopia. 


Lauren getting ready to drive. 






The characters were practicing social distancing due to Covid. 




The churros at Disneyland are SO good.


It was our first time seeing the Star Wars area... very impressive!


The Rise of the Resistance ride was amazing!










It's A Small World is one of my favorite rides.








More scenery from the Star Wars area...








The Haunted Mansion is another one of my favorite rides.


Beignets!




The Web Slingers Spiderman ride at California Adventure was really fun and new since our last visit.




The pier is always so pretty at night. 








The Little Mermaid ride is one of my favorites... I prefer the tame rides. :)


The girls love this Guardians of the Galaxy ride, formerly known as the Tower of Terror.




The girls also love the Incredicoaster.






Radiator Springs Racers is a favorite for all of us.






Girls enjoying a giant turkey leg.


Photo of the pier during the day... the weather was fantastic!


Roz is my favorite character in Monsters Inc.


Justin took these photos of the girls on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad roller coaster. 
















Lexi enjoyed staying with her bestie Marilyn while we were away :)
