Sunday 7/16, Kay-See and I were first into the motor home for French Toast then C and S came in from their walk, then Kassie. We decided to do river rafting so while Dad and S went over and got the raft the rest of us sat in the sun and read magazines. Our trip finally got underway and since the drop off point is now blocked off we had to unload everything at the top and carry it down, good exercise I guess. We set off and had a fun trip down, pretty uneventful though and were all very hungry by the time we got back. Luckily Mom had whipped up a chicken pot pie before we left and it was still warm so we all dug into that and relaxed. We all packed our things up, loaded up the car and headed down to the drop off point to get something out of Kassie’s car. Said bye to Mom and Dad then went to get a last ice cream cone before heading back over the mountains. I got Moose Tracks this time and it was very good. Chrystol got some pictures of the donkey across the street and the barn then we started our drive. We stopped at the Harry and the Hendersons coffee stand which is right before traffic got bad. We sat in it for probably 35-40 minutes then it cleared up and we made it into Kirkland without incident. Dropped Kay-See off at her house and saw the Roommates fiancée and I was like “Oh my God, there he is, that’s the fiancée” and Chrystol said “That’s weird because he’s totally checking you out” but I didn’t notice because I was trying to drive. We got back to my house, unloaded the stuff, they used the bathroom and headed out. I talked to Susan for a while and made some dinner and hung out for the evening just enjoying being home.

Saturday 7/15, We all woke up early, like 7:45 early, and went in and had Dad make pancakes which were delicious as always. We all walked down to the beach and Dad gave us a ride back up in the back of the pickup then Kay-See and I sat in the sun and C and S went back down to the river to explore. Mom and Dad took off to run errands in Wenatchee and Leavenworth and we all just laid around in the sun for most of the day. At one point Kay-See and I walked down to the river and put our feet in then met C and S on the way back up. Kassie got there around 12:30 and we sat and snacked on Rice Krispie Treats, fruit and other stuff then decided to go back down to the river again where Kassie tried to convince everyone how fun it would be to float down the rapids in the freezing-ass water. We played in the pond for a little while then went back up and Mom and Dad got back not too much later and started making lunch: pork chops, potatoes and corn on the cob. Dee-lish. At some point we went into Plain and got some ice cream (chocolate peanut butter for me) then over to the hardware store where I bought a book of scary stories and a bar of mango scented goat soap. Kay-See and I took a bike ride down the road a little bit and eventually Dad and Mom helped me set up the trampoline but the mosquitoes were out like crazy. Us kids decided to head into Leavenworth to hang out and ended up getting a late dinner at Pavz where I had a strawberry crepe and had nibbles of Kay-See and Kassie’s dinners, which were both very good. We did a little walking around, took some pictures and headed back home. When we got back we all put our pjs on and crawled into bed. Kassie broke out the Mad Libs and we had some really hilarious ones, especially the “Atomic Loaf” and Kay-See being nicknamed “Billy the Pelvis” and that she stole someone’s “Molester’s Nads”. After that we shared some lame scary stories, then everyone went to sleep but Chrystol and I chatted for a little bit.

Friday 7/14, I got off of work early cause I had to deliver something to one of our clients. I called B on the way to make sure everything was ok with their house because there was a house fire in Wallingford earlier that morning. We talked until I got home then we got disconnected but I didn’t feel it necessary to call him back. I showered and packed for the trip over to Leavenworth and even had enough time to take a little nap, which was very refreshing. Schuyler called me around 6:45 to say they were running about 30 minutes behind but would be there around 7:30. Susan and I watched Wheel of Fortune and ate dinner then Schuyler and Chrystol got there and we loaded up my car and hit the road. Luckily there was no traffic and we swung by and picked Kay-See up and were on our way over the mountains. We actually made it over very quickly despite a stop in Monroe for some Mc D’s and the car being weighed down with 4 people and a shit load of stuff. We rolled in right around 10:00 and Morey was just leaving as we sat down around the camp fire with Mom and Dad and chatted for a while. Mom said I was going to have to make my own pancakes in the morning but I was determined not to. We decided to go to bed after a little tour of the motor home and settled onto our designated air mattresses. Kay-See fell asleep quickly while the three of us chatted for a little while, then the sprinkler kept me up and I woke up multiple times in the night from the train and that damn rooster.
