we left seattle thursday afternoon, and took the scenic (hwy 2) route to wenatchee. we arrived at la casa de hendrickson early enough for the boys to run around and wear themselves out before bedtime! friday morning brought us an orchard tour where kaimana learned the ropes... how to eat cherries straight off the tree and make a big mess! after nap-time, we loaded up the car and headed up to entiat. lots of playing outside, a great dinner, and playing in tents ensued. even some fireworks! we slept out under the stars (luckily it was warm enough to leave off the rain-fly) and awoke to a beautiful morning. we ate some delicious breakfast casserole while watching the world cup, then headed outdoors! it was so fun to watch the boys play, and of course to catch up with the hendoos!
that evening, we decided to again try the scenic route, this time to spokane. unfortunately, we took a very scenic route... that is, we missed our turn and ended up in chelan. thankfully, wal-mart had an atlas, and we made our way to our destination. sunday, the fourth, we got to see papa's new sailboat, and though we missed the big firework show, stopped and did some of our own. monday we visited riverfront park, and kaimana got his first taste of RIDES!!! he started on the batmobile and mini-carousel (the kind you drop a quarter into), and then moved on to the ferris wheel, a kiddie roller coaster, and the big carousel. what fun!
