Summertime in Arizona

We are back from our three week trip to Washington. It feels both good and kind of sad to be back. I have really enjoyed sleeping in my own bed and cooking in my own kitchen, but I really miss that feeling of comfort you get going home to the house you grew up in. The girls and my parents had a great time and I think we are being missed. Cat and Sarah have truly loved being able to do everything with Grammie and Grampy and I was a fifth wheel. Dad picked raspberries almost every night with the girls because they loved it so much. They ate popsicles, ran through the sprinkler, picked vegetables from the garden, played hopscotch, jumped rope, rode bicycles, went swimming and on and on and on. Cat and Sarah took swimming lessons and both passed with flying colors. The big highlight was that Grampy taught Catherine how to ride her bike. We were so proud of her. We had such a good time and loved being with my parents so much! While we were there I had my 10-year high school reunion, and went to two of our friends weddings. Landan married Melinda in Spokane, Wa and Leif married Alexis in Portland, Or. It was a great trip!
