Once Upon A Time...

...two wonderful under ONE year old baby friends with their two tired mama's, friends from a past world, met in the wonderful land of Treehouses. Those baby friends were cute, cuddly, smiley, mobile, notalwaysthebestsleeping, babies, but oh they had so much fun in this new treehouse land. They only had 48 magical hours in the treehouses which their mamas used wisely...eating, conferencing about ultra-important things like babies NOT sleeping, wonderful husbands, and the like...and of course more eating, and super duper playing babies...
This treehouse land was filled with swings, wonderful bridges between treehouses, ropes courses, horses, poles to slide down, ropes to climb up, and load of other fun things to explore...
the babies had high hopes of seeing it ALL...and they did indeed see it all, though  explore, despite their best efforts, might have to wait a year due to their mama's fears of falling babies...those mama's always worrying...
The weekend story follows...
The wonderful Treehouse baby suite....(even scented with the occasional poopy diaper just for comfort sake)

Adorable babies have to keep looking clean after all.....

Awesome swinging bridge morning walks amongst the treehouses

Lovely Mom friend Sheelagh and Baby David

Bonus trip to hike around Oregon Caves National Monument...no caves open this time of year but plenty of great trails!

Mid-day baby puff snack break in the parking lot....

Babies on the loose!

Next up was Taylor's sausage...the MOST DELECTABLE sausage you'd ever laid eyes on...the babies agreed it was the BEST...and the mama's were loving it too.....I wonder why????Something to do with the wonderful hubbies being missing? Hmmmmmm. Needless to say several packages of sausages made it home from Taylor's to the super duper husbands meat loving delight....that and bacon, can't forget the bacon after all....

More fun swinging under a bridge....

Just one example of a super duper treehouse...there were 17 of these things all over the place!!! Truly amazing.

Baby T and his Mama taking a morning bridge walk...nice view from 70 feet up!

Baby David means business when he crawls...

the two cute treehouse babies soaking up the last minutes of their wonderful treehouse vacation....

and the whole gang ending their mama gettaway in style with a picnic lunch with two happy playing babies...lovely!


Needless to say the time was filled with good walks, good talks, and wonderful food as the Wonderful Land of Treehouses delivered to whisk those mamas, even if briefly, from the daily strenuous though wonderful life of child-rearing...to a slower pace....

Blissful I'll say....
