Summer 2009 & Vacation to the Northwest

Well, we're home now...but we were gone...I'm mean physically! We went to Vancouver WA to see my brother Jeff & his wife April & their kids. Then up to Seattle to see Whit & Cristopher & do a day at Pike Place...you know!...where they throw the Fish! Then the 4 of us went over to Spokane to visit some friends (Whit & Chris stayed with them, the Finnelleys)...then we all went on to Chewelah, where we used to live....it was their annual fair "Chataqua". We played in Waitts Lake, ate everything in sight...stayed with some other friends...the Ludwigs. We visited the old ranch that we lived on...that was weird...not one creature on the place...we had HUNDREDS....40 peacocks, 200 ducks, 35 chickens, pig, 5 horses, steer, sheep & raccoons plus dogs & cats, donkeys & cows...it was sooo quiet there now. We had a blast doing everything & seeing everyone. Daniel & Christopher had never been there & didn't know our friends...so we showed them...I love traveling with Daniel, we just have the best time...but we were ready to come home too. We're lovin the summer & our garden is starting to produce....but those tomatoes are still not ready...rats!
