We left Blanding on Tuesday, July 10, for our ultimate destination of Western Washington. We spent Tuesday night in Provo with Jim and Rebecca after a trip to my retina specialist in Salt Lake. On Wednesday we drove to Logan where we spent time with my mom in her new assisted living facility. She seems very happy, and it was good to see her there. We stayed the night with Virgil and Marie and enjoyed our visit with them. On Thursday we started for LaGrande, OR. Since we were ahead of schedule, we stopped in Weiser and enjoyed seeing the places I had lived and worked.
This is the house Lee built on Loafer Lane in 1987. It had changed so much I wasn't sure it was the right house until we saw the address. On Friday morning we left for Washington arriving in early afternoon. We stayed with Alan that night then met Gerritt and family for Ben's baptism on Saturday.

The baptism was really beautiful. There were 7 children baptized. Afterward we went to Gerritt's for a barbecue where we met Alan's family. Tristen attended the baptism and the barbecue. We got this adorable picture showing that Tristen is now at least an inch taller than Alan.

The kids had great fun playing in the sprinklers.
