Visiting Walla Walla

After spending two weeks at the beach, it was time to head down to Walla Walla for the remainder of our vacation. Because Natalie and I had pink eye, the kids and I spent most of the first week hiding out at Bob's house. I was somewhat productive though, Roby and I went through all our stuff that we left there when we moved to Germany. Its nice to finally have everything we own in one place! When not helping me, Roby took his motorcycle class in Tri-Cities and spent some time at his dad's shop.

I think having pink eye put me in a picture taking funk, because I only have a handful of pictures from while there. And, because of that first week of seclusion, we had to fit in seeing everyone we wanted to see in just seven days! We ended up having lunch and dinner dates almost every that week. Here are most of the pictures (I'll only have to do one or two more posts!).

Here are a couple pics from the drive to Walla Walla...not great, but all I could get sitting between the kids! :-)

Poor Natalie's pink eye... :-(

Max loves her anyway.

One of people that I really wanted to spend time with while in town was Tiffany! We've been friends since third grade--when my family moved up from California. We hung out a few times when we had a lull between visiting people. Here are a few pics of the kids playing.

Nat playing with a stick...

Ethan will take any chance to skate!

Kyle with some worms and rolly-pollies!

All four of the kids decided Roby needed to go for a ride in the wagon!! Looks to me like he was having a good time!!! haha

While in town Haley came down to visit! We got to see her twice!!! Her mom was watching her niece for the day, so we came over to swim! They all had a great time!!!

The kids with my grandparents.

We had dinner with Roby's uncle David, his wife and son. Then he took us out for ice cream before saying bye. I think he made a good impression on the kids! :-) Ice cream will do that! haha

The neighbor at Bob's told Natalie that she could pic some of the roses if she wanted! She took him up on his offer!

The day before we left, my grandparents came up to hang out while we packed up the trailer. My grandpa helped the kids look for shells in the creek running through the front yard.

Found some!

Max was constantly watching out for his kids.
