Mom and I having some fun in downtown Troutdale
As soon as we began planning our trip, Emma said she really wanted to surprise Tatum. Kirsten helped us with our plan and we definitely shocked Tatum when we rolled up to their front door! These two shared many adventures in Italy during 5th-8th grades. Tatum took Emma out to show her Poulsbo.
I was so happy to enjoy a beer again with Kirsten
Camden, Me, Tatum, Emma, Kirsten, Genesee, and Savannah
My surprise reunion was with Bunny! I did not know that Team Allen had just moved to Pouslbo a few weeks ago. My heart was extra full catching up with another friend from Italy.
