Brian and Kamboni, as I like to call her, were on the Oregon Coast vacationing with her side of the family. I drove down from Seattle, picked up Rebecca and her daughter Heather in Portland, then headed over to Astoria for a little pre-Boston reunion.
We met up at the Astoria Column, and the girls got to run around a bit after a long car ride. Here they are rolling across the hill as opposed to down it.
When the frolicking was over, we drove to a local restaurant for lunch: The Pig 'N" Pancake. I'm sorry, if you're driving and you see a restaurant called "The Pig 'N' Pancake," you stop and eat there.
Opened in 1966 by these guys:
Bob and Marianne
...the Pig 'N' Pancake is apparently an Oregon Coast institution. I ordered sausage links, scrambled eggs, and some banana pancakes with orange/pineapple syrup. Review: the "pig" was great. The pancakes were tasty, but the syrup was disgusting. Too runny, not in the least bit syrupy, and very very bitter, as if they had zested that orange rind a little too aggressively. You need to ease the hell up on that zester, Bob and Marianne. Anyway, the girls had fun coloring:
And applying lip gloss:
And mugging for the camera:
I shot a video of Heather putting on the lip gloss, but I can't freaking figure out why it's rotated 90 degrees to the left. Anyway, it went something like this: load, swipe across face, reload, repeat.
Heather was bummed to leave Samantha, and on the car ride home, kept saying "Where's Sammie? I miss her!" In an effort to ease the pain of separation, Bec gave her some more lip product. By the time we made it home, her whole face was glossy:
If lovin' lip gloss is wrong, she don't wanna be right.
So good to see you, Bishop family! Can't wait to party with you in The Bay State!

Is it wrong that I see Astoria and I think of Kindergarten Cop? It looked like such a nice little town in that movie.
Ahhhhh, lucky! I didn't know Kam would get to see you while in Oregon. That makes a girl want to jump in a car for 15 hours with two crying kids and drive to Oregon herself.
I guess I'll wait until Boston! Yahoo! Can't wait to be with you and the Bishops again.
I love the lip gloss application. If they make it smell so good, of course you'd want to rub it all over your body!
That was such a fun day. who would have thought when you were with pregnant Kamber in London and I was gestating back in Oregon that those babies would get to play some day? they were so cute together. I had a lot of fun meeting your friends!
Yay!! So fun to see that you're blogging about the things I WISH I were blogging about. (Soon, trust me.) That was such a fun day, and Sammie was missing Heather all the way home, too -- only, she called her "That Girl," couldn't quite get Heather down, I guess. We loved meeting Rebecca, finally. Did you notice she and I got the SAME omelette and orange juice?! I just KNEW she was cool!
Can't wait to see you again, in just a couple weeks, Rand!
