Trace and I went on a great road trip during the last of September. We drove to McCall Idaho for two nights at his brother's condo. Wonderful to relax and read, bike and eat out. Then we stayed two nights with the same brother in Nyssa, Oregon so Trace could give two firesides on his observations of the Church worldwide.
Moving north, we arrived at the Lake residence for many wonderful days in Vancouver. We got to go with each of the oldest grands to their sporting activities. Griffin and Camdyn are both in cross country this year, along with their regular soccer games. Miss Kenna continues to be a force to recon with on her soccer team. She was celebrating her 9th birthday close to the time I was there (Trace had flown home earlier) so she got to skip school to go to lunch with me, shopping for her barbies and to a movie, along with Camdyn. Stacey and I enjoyed two fun shopping adventures. Treasures were found at the Camas Antique store, as well as a pre-view at Cindy Elmer's garage sale. Stacey bought all the items on the top of her TV cabinet at the garage sale. One cannot imagine the delight of Cindy's pricing! It was with a heavy heart I had to leave the Lakes.

Oh wow, that was quick! Did you do this post just for me? :) It was probably just a coincidence... it's likely you didn't even see the comment I left on your last post just a couple hours ago... At any rate it was fun to hear about your adventures as of late! How fun to take a big long road trip and visit family. I just love the Lakes! And I'm sure Trace's family are fun too ;)
Why can't people around here have garage sales like that? That's good stuff she got. Did you buy anything? Oh that right, you're downsizing. . . so probably not. Glad you had a great time.
I know of very few grandparents who visit their out of state grandchildren as much as you do. I hope they know how lucky they are. How fun to have so much one on one time with you. I can't believe I haven't seen those kids in over a year!!!
