Roadtrip to Uniontown

Since Jason is already on leave from work, we decided we needed to try a roadtrip to Uniontown, WA, and visit my grandparents. With plenty of stops, it took 8.5 hours going (the short way) and 10.5 hours on the way home (we took the "scenic" route over Lolo Pass - we won't be going that way again with little kids!). Overall, everyone did great in the car and we all had a fantastic time visiting with my grandparents and my parents, who drove over for the weekend.

We also got to see some of my cousins who live in Pullman.
This is my cousin Heather with her daughter Maile.
Me, sitting with Heather's husband, Roger.
The kids with my cousin Tom (or I should say Dr. Drader, PhD!).
Jessie with Tom's wife, Donna. Doesn't she look like she's ready to have her own baby? No pressure.... :)

In Pullman - our future Cougars! :)

The weather was so great that we took the kids to a WSU baseball game to see my second-cousin, Michael, play - he had a home run! We all had a great time, except Gracie hid when the mascot, Butch stopped by to give her five - she still talks about how much she doesn't like Butch!


Emmett, practicing his casting and reeling - he's really good, but he won't leave his line in the water long enough to get a bite - he just wants to cast and reel, cast and reel. :)


Grandpa took the kids fishing at the homestead, but the water was too swift for fishing and the kids quickly deiscovered that throwing rocks and getting big splashes was far more entertaining!
