We did have a nice week in Washington. On Tuesday night we planned to drive to Thorp, WA (small village by Ellensburg) in time to see Katie's team play a doubleheader. I will just say that the weather won that game. We got to Manson in time to celebrate Kurt's birthday on the 15th. We went to brunch at Blueberry Hills (yum), and Shannon fixed a nice dinner and delicious dessert for later.
We enjoyed a relaxing day on Thursday, got a little exercise, read a little, ate a little, watched a little tv, etc. Friday Becky had the day off so we headed off to Wenatchee for a little pampering, getting a manicure (Becky got a pedicure), and shopping. I was able to find a few more things for my missionary wardrobe. Becky wondered if I could wear something besides neutral colors. I looked at what I bought and everything was black or white. I decided to buy a pink blouse for a little color. We got got back to Pateros in time to see Katy's softball games which they won easily.
Saturday we decided to drive to Seattle for the day. We thought we might see a few friends and hang out for the day. We did have a nice visit with the Nelsons, didn't get to see the Domans, had dinner with David R. and Tiffany. Becky came with us. It was on this occasion that I lost the camera. I did call the restaurant when I realized it was missing, but they didn't have it.
Monday Becky took the day off and we did a bedroom makeover. She should have taken some before and after pictures. We painted her room this nice light yellow-tan color. It may have been more yellow than tan but it looked fresh and new. Becky bought new bed comforter and new blinds for the windows. It looked great. We topped off the day with dinner with Becky, Bob, Kyle and Katy.
Tuesday we had a nice lunch (Shannon mentioned it on her blog with picture) with Shannon and Becky. We drove to Waterville for another softball game. It was nice to see Katy play and watch her pitch. She does a nice job. We were sorry we weren't able to see one of Bronte's track meets or Paul's either.
We always enjoy staying at beautiful Lake Çhelan and interacting with Bronte, Paul and Joe. They are so sweet and always ready to give us a hug or kiss. They act like they are happy to have us there.!
We left on Wednesday and drove to Boise--an uneventful drive. Thursday we drove to Logan and met with Brian's brothers (Gene, Landel and Burns). Also Eric, Scott and Tamara (Landel's kids) were there. We spent a lovely afternoon with then driving around Smithfield and seeing all the places that were special to them. We topped the day off with dinner at Maddox. We stayed with bob and Corene and had a nice visit with them. Friday we stopped off to see Brian's sister, Pat, who wasn't well enough to make the trip up to Smithfield. We saw Kristie and kids for a short visit and then off to Washington, UT.
IT WAS GOOD TO SEE OUR CUTE LITTLE HOME AGAIN.
Sorry for the travel log, I should have written an e-mail.

oh, thats too bad about your camera! I'm sure you were pretty sad. Wish we could have seen everyone with you. It's always fun to go on vacation, but always nice to get back home again.
It sounds like you fit in so many fun activities. I bet your trip went by really quick.
glad you had such a nice time with everyone and got in lots of visits, too!
We loved having you here - no one was acting! :) I still can't believe that someone took your camera. They could have at least turned in your memory card! I tried several times to send photos to your email, but kept getting notices that they couldn't be delivered. I sent them to Brian a couple of days ago, and haven't seen any notices, so I am hoping they arrived. Let me know if you still haven't seen them.
Shannon, I don't know if you will see this, but I did get the pictures. Thank You.
