August 20 - August 21
M&M had her last day of marching band camp on Tuesday and we took off early Wednesday morning to drive up to Washington for a reunion with the N family. DH has a brother that is living overseas with his family and this was the only time that we were going to be able to see them for the next little while. We were able to schedule in a whirlwind visit in between M&M's band camp and M&M and Luke starting school. It also worked out nicely that the elementary kids were off of school for the first track break during this time (they went to school for 3 weeks and then were off for 3 weeks).
Unfortunately we had some car trouble on the way up - just outside of Ogden. So we had to limp back to town and made our way to a Toyota dealership and after spending a couple of hours there, they attributed the problem to a bent tire rim. They rotated the tire rim to one of the back wheels and then sent us on our way hoping that we made it without incident... We were a little skeptical, but went on our way hoping and praying that we had no more problems. Well, thankfully we made it safe and sound to the rental we were staying at in Mt. Hood - although it was several hours later than we were hoping for...
The next morning we ate breakfast and then packed up some lunches and headed out to go on a hike. The weather was beautiful and it was a nice, fun hike for us all.
