Trip to Chewelah

Our family travelled to visit the in-laws, swim in a pool in Moses Lake, go to Kelly's 30 (THIRTY) year class reunion, eat huckleberries, have fun at Riverfront Park with Landon, golf with Grandpa and put a down payment on some property right next to Grandpa and Grandma's! We also celebrated Lindsay's 8th birthday and had my Mom and family friends, Dave & Marla stop in as well. We really enjoy the Chewelah area and once the property is paid off, we plan on building our retirement home. Oh yeah, back to that class reunion photo...my bride is the "most beautiful woman" in the whole world, front row, far left. She hasn't changed a bit from high school, but some in the class can't make that statement. More photos to follow!

July 4th

It was an "hot" day here in Western Washington and in the low 90's. We will take any day here when it is not raining, windy or the freeway is backed up all the way to Portland! We drove out to a church camp where Nikki will be staying for a week, so we could see just how beautiful the area was and so I knew where I was going to take her tomorrow. We decided to stay close to home in the evening and watched everyones "money go up in smoke". Our RV park is adjacent to an Indian reservation, so there was lots of explosions and bottle rockets most of the night, but the girls enjoyed the sights! We are in the final stages of planning our trip to Chewelah. Kelly's 30 year class reunion is on the 17-18th in Republic, so we plan on heading over to Chewelah for a week, with a stop in Moses Lake going and a stop at Clear Lake on the way back.

Kerri's visit

Kerri stopped by to visit on Thursday, a day earlier than Jay enroute to the Winterstein Family reunion. The girls slept in to 0930 hours, until I mustered then on the port side bridge wing. We had a fun day of visiting, taking pictures, eating, laughing and playing a monster game of "Uno". She will be back on Monday to stay the night before traveling back to Long Beach, CA on Tuesday morning.
