Today we spent most of our day in Eugene. It is about halfway between Salem and Roseburg where our good friends the 
Simmons family live. We met them for lunch and a walk in the park.Alex did an excellent job pushing Sophia in the stroller, although she kept a sharp eye on Daddy to be sure she was safe. Or perhaps she was keeping an eye on Daddy giving a ride to Gabriel wondering why he was sharing his shoulders with another child.
She also loved hanging out with Ann Marie and especially loved touching her sweater.
After the park, we went to visit Aunt Jess and Uncle Barry who live in Eugene. While there, Sophia had her first taste of ice cream. It was a big hit.Also popular was playing with her aunt and uncle who seem quite
taken with her. It had been a while since we'd seen Aunt Jess and Sophia got to show off her more hair, new teeth, and ability to sit up.After the fun, full day, she slept all the day home. If only both Mommy and Daddy could, but one of them had to drive home!
