My Dearest Dietrich ~ Book Review

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

My Dearest Dietrich by @amandabarrattauthor was our book club book for this month. It gave an incredible inside view of some of those fighting WW2 in their own backyard.
.
It also provided a different view point into that part of history that had me researching and trying to make sense of what happened and why. So often we hear from the ones who were persecuted but to hear from those on the other side brought light to some areas of that part of history that was good. It helped answer those questions like .. did anyone notice what was happening? We’re they all willing so easily to persecute others and how did they not fight back?
.
I don’t know that I would agree with every choice that Dietrich made but I do love how he was seeking God in every situation,for his approval, his forgiveness or his help. I’m also challenged in my own thought life of how would I have handled those same situations. Would I have responded the same way? Definitely a book that gives you lots to think about❤️

Disneyland, downtown disney

Salt & Straw ~ Downtown Disney

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

We recently tried out Salt & Straw Salt & Straw Ice Cream on our trip to Disneyland for the first time. The location is perfect in downtown Disney and is a beautiful building. We were surprised that most of the flavors were not ones we have ever tried or heard of but it was fun to try something new.They were great at offering samples on real spoons not plastic so we liked that but did feel like we wanted to try all the flavors so we limited it to the two we were most interested in. The prices were comparable to the area so we paid 6$ for single scoop that came with a waffle cone and we felt it was the perfect amount.

Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery ~Beer Flight

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

We were excited to try the beer flight @doublemountain brewery
.
The menu has lots of really great options and you get a taster sheet where you can pick up to 5 different choices.
.
It’s a fun way to try different ones and to be adventurous⭐️
.
The tasters come out to you on a tasting tray that has a number under each taster that coordinates with your taster sheet.So fun!
.
We loved all of them but our favorite choices were the ones we wouldn’t have normally chosen so this was a fun way discover that.
.
If your traveling through or near Hood River, Oregon then go!
.

Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

Double Mountain Brewery was on our list of places to try and we recently had the opportunity to do it
.
The restaurant decor and atmosphere is very rustic, cool and relaxed
.
The service was wonderful! We loved that they also had outside seating to help with social distancing
.
We ordered a pizza, salad and pretzel bites and oh my they were all delish! The pretzel bites and beer cheese sauce was our favorite .. we may have licked it clean🤣.. it was that good!
.
We will also be posting the beer flight we enjoyed here as well.. stay tuned

American Girl Doll, Book

American Girl Doll History ~Melody

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

This month we learned about Melody @americangirlbrand as our doll of the month
.
We read through the books then came together to have a tea party and talk about what we learned about Melody.
.
The books were well done and we learned about some of the civil rights movement through Melodys eyes and what her family experienced
.
One of my favorite parts of the book that made me cry was when her grandfather talked about how the night before the Emancipation Proclamation was to be signed , how they stayed up all night knowing in a few hours there would be freedom. It became known as the Watch Night.
.
It’s hard to understand that anyone would be treated that way but it was good for us to talk about it as a class and how we can respond
.
For our tea party, the table was decorated like a block party with lemon plates and napkins just like Melody and her friends did:) There were double chocolate cupcakes just like Melody’s birthday cake.. Yum!
.
One of the things Melody loved to do was to work in her grandfathers flower shop . So we made a flower shop where the girls could all make their own arrangements just like Melody did. It turned out so fun and the girls had a great time picking and choosing flowers
.
Then it was time to shop! The girls had a great time shopping with and for their dolls. They earned class money from reading the the books, learning about the state Melody was from and doing some worksheets to go along with the book❤️
