Hello Washington!

We drove till 10 on Tuesday night and then stopped at a rest area to sleep. We woke up at 4:30 to start driving. I was like a horse that saw the path home. . . . I was just ready to get here! We stopped in Zillah to see where Steve and jana Crist live. Jana was so gracious to feed us breakfast on short notice! it was really fun to see their home finally. We got to Ethan's about noon. The children got a little stir-crazy in the afternoon. They didn't want to play outside, because it had gotten hot. So Lynnae and I ran over to Grant and Mel's to borrow some toys. Thanks Mel, you saved the day! They are very thrilled and have been playing with them ever since! Last night, some of the parents were meeting at the school for a meeting, so the children got to go over there and play with some other children. I got to see some old friends there, so that was fun! Arlyn went to work with Ethan, and Lynnae is making a treasure hunt for the children. I will post some pics later!
