Fall Family Weekend in Spokane

We saw some of the prettiest scenery on the trip. Fall colors, beautiful weather to enjoy the water scenes. The gas prices were the best we have seen in a long time. I think our best price was $2.64 a gallon which was appreciated since we travelled at least 750 miles.

We like to travel the backroads to enjoy the scenery and the lack of traffic.

We were able to connect with Greg at Eastern (why didn't I take pictures???) deliver his goods from mom and get a tour/sample of the music department. Greg's class was very inspiring. We really appreciated being there and seeing it first hand.
Nathan was harder to reach and we had to forget technology and throw pine cones at his dorm window to finally get in touch with him. All goods were delivered, though we were getting ready to eat Nathan's cookies!


We drove over to Dave and Marjorie's to help with the final loading of the moving van. They are officially moved! It was nice to be there and help if only a little.

Jenny gets her orders and then meets and delivers the orders to her "men". They then work out a plan of action together. We were encouraged to ask questions during and throughout the operation. It was very interesting and done well.


To see in person the leader that Jenny has become is inspiring and amazing. She was the platoon leader and led the drill for an ambush.
The entire trip had a flow to it that made me know that God had gone before us to make the most of our time and everything went smoothly.
