PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) is a big convention for gamers. Video games, board games, etc., if it's a game, it's there! This expo is a 3-day thing and he and 8 other friends were meeting up on Thursday in Oregon to travel to Seattle for it. The boys were fine and Aaron was feeling better, but not well enough to drive all that way by himself. So, we all headed out early Thursday morning (instead of Wednesday night) to meet up with his group in Salem, and made it close to being on time!
The kids and I then headed over to the Brewster Estate and had a great time hanging out with whoever was available :)
We picked blackberries and went out for pizza with the other PAX widows :D
We went to the Children's Museum with Amanda and her kids and had a fantastic time!
The next night we had an impromptu picnic at a park with all the family that was around.
We got to meet Michael's new girlfriend Jessica. Aren't they cute!?
Watched Heath climb up on the rafters of the table cover.
And watched the kids climb everything!
On Sunday, I finally got a picture of pretty Jenny :)
Sunday night, the guys (Ben and Aaron) got home and showed off their loot and told all about their adventures. Aaron's game bookcase was pretty full before we left, but now it's packed! He got 3 new games for really good prices and he's been saving up for this trip for awhile.
Monday, around noon, we started for home and pulled in to our place just after 10pm! It's so nice to have the trip cut in half! I was sorry to not see some of our friends, but the boys still had tender tummies and were seriously whiny. Hopefully, our next trip will be longer and won't be so impromptu.

Sounds like so much fun! Family is the best. Michael is so cute with his girl! Hope everyone is all better now.
