Have you ever had one of those weekends where you looked back and marveled at how glorious it was? I did this past weekend. It was if the stars were aligned and all was right in my world. The weather was near perfect (a bit hot but tolerable Friday) and my beloved Northwest was lit up in technicolor!
On Friday I took Laura and several friends to Enchanted Forest near Salem, Oregon. This is a an annual tradition for the Young Girls and we have done it every summer since Laura was 4. Her BFF Sarah has gone with us for most of those years and all of the girls this year went last year excepting Lizzy. We were able to introduce her to the this sweet place. Enchanted Forest is small and was built by a family and is not as fancy as some amusement parks but they do have a log ride and a forest full of fairy tale scenes. I am happy the girls are still enjoying it and want to keep the tradition alive. I am happy to take them every year! I will be one sad Momma if they outgrow it!

The next day we went to Portland Saturday Market. I had not been since the market place was remodeled last year. It seems there were even more artisans and sellers than before. The weather was picture perfect and the girls enjoyed a dip in the public fountain. We listened to some music and had our portraits done by the "60 second artist." He sketches a full portrait in a timed minute! I was also able to catch up with my favorite glass artist Brian of B Originals. (He made my fabulous red ring) He sold me some awesome pieces I plan to gift a few lucky July Birthday girls! We capped our day off with a terrific Mexican meal! I had so much fun this weekend that I did not mind spending my Sunday painting the kitchen! It looks awesome but that is another post! I hope you all were able to enjoy the weather and weekend where ever you were! XOXOXO Sending sparkles!
how fun! Looks like a good time was had by
