It's amazing, isn't it, how far you can travel in just two hours on an plane? We had a short but sweet visit with the desert campers Saturday afternoon. They headed back home to the Methow Valley early Sunday. They had a great time, although after several nights of dry camping seemed happy being back in the super-saturated Northwest. It rained all weekend, but fortunately the big windstorm never materialized.
We heard about some cool desert adventures, especially canoe camping on Lake Powell. They had the full national park crowd hiking experience at Bryce and Zion. And of course, one of the big highlights was visiting with Aunt Marji and Grandpa in North Las Vegas. No surprise, The Strip just wasn't their thing, and walking through the stinky, smoky-smelling casinos provided a memorable teaching moment. Both girls declared over dinner "We will NEVER smoke cigarettes," and we said, "Amen to that!"
Back to school and work for everyone today. Amanda starts her new second job as a District School nurse, commuting to the town of Pateros on Thursdays. We are proud of her, but their busy family life is about to get even busier.
Always so hard saying goodbye to these sweet faces, but we'll see them again soon.
