The Nelson Family did something a little crazy this past weekend...We took two little girls on four different planes in less than 48 hrs! But it was all worth it because I was able to bring my girls to meet my Grandma Z in Portland OR. You see- my Grandma had 4 little boys..and although she loved her boys more than anything...she always wished to hold a baby girl. Well now she has two little Great Grand DAUGHTERS! And I couldnt pass up the chance to take them to meet her! So with the help of my wonderful husband and my father- we made the journey to the West Coast. The girls did AWESOME on the way out- mostly due to the fact that Claire was able to sleep in her car seat because neither flight was completely full- Thank you SOUTHWEST! We had a great time hanging out with Uncle Al and Aunt Ally who were nice enough to open their home to us. Most of all I loved watching my Grandma experience my two little angels. Layna dressed up like Cinderella and talked up a storm. Claire giggled, smiled, and lifted her head off the ground in true 'Claire fashion'. I was even fortunate enough to visit my Grandfather's grave. He is resting in a beautiful military site surrounded by green hills and trees.
We ate at some fun places- enjoying fish right off the coast and breakfast at 'Hash'...(they really did serve corned beef hash) Uncle Al even broke out the second to last bag of 'ZIM BERRIES' A special berry only grown and named by Grandpa Z. We set a new rule that 5 Zimmerman's have to be present for ZimBerries to be served! A new tradition! We played Hearts, walked to the park but most of all gave lots of hugs and kisses to Grandma Z. We are still recovering from this adventure here at the Nelson House but it was well worth the trip- and one we will never forget!
