Welcome to Washington!!

We finally did it! Blair has been talking going to visit his grandparents in Washington for over a year and we finally made the trip. And what a trip! It's about a 10 1/2 hour drive each way. Whew. Worth it though. We had such a good time.The first thing to greet us as we entered Grandma and Grandpa's house:

A moose-and giant one at that. Will LOVED all the animals in the living room.
Here's the Caribou...

...and the other moose.

"Country living is great, but I gotta have my comforts from home."

Will had to bring his favorite movie, Cars.

Will and Grandma. Pals for life.

Will, Blair, Grandma and Grandpa.

We went fishing at this amazingly beautiful lake. I have never

smelled such fresh air and seen such a gorgeous sight.

Grandpa getting ready to launch his new fishing boat.

Will, less than enthused about having to wear three layers plus a life jacket.

Oh wow! He got one! Will loved watching Dad and Grandpa unhook the trout.

Nice one Grandpa!

Blair, head boat mechanic. Well, good thing he had a pocket knife.

It came in handy when the fishing line got caught in the motor. :)

Dinner at Texas Road House with Uncle Dave, Aunt Becky, Makenna,

Payden, and Brayden. (sorry if I mispelled your names!)

Will's new buddy, cousin Brayden.

All of the mules and horses during feeding time. This was also Will's favorite activity. He'd hold the alfalfa cubes in his hand and let them gobble. He loved it.

Part of Grandpa's fields.

On Sunday, we visited Ucle Larin and Aunt Elaine. They have great kids. Stetson, Shalynn, Brianne, Colton and Dallin.

Will after a long day of farm business. Yeah right!

Peek-a-boo!

Saying good-bye.

Will had to say good-bye to Tex, the dog.

A very tired boy. That's okay, it's a long way back!

Will learned the names of all the stuffed animals in Grandpa's house. He loved pointing to them and telling us what they were every morning.
