Road Trip

Last Friday the four of us ventured out on a road trip to Yakima to scout out a few things for the upcoming high school work camp trip and to visit with some friends from seminary.  We made the final decision to go the night before and I was quite impressed when we were out the door by 8:20am (8:00am was our goal departure time).  We made a few stops along the way and the girls did great.  We enjoyed lunch in downtown Yakima at a restaurant in a parked and converted train car with our friends from seminary and their children.  Then scoped out the church where the high school students will be staying.  The church has a garden, which had ripe strawberries, and a playground, which made Clara very happy.

On our way back home we stopped off at a state park where Clara and Matt played in a stream and chased two rabbits across a field.  Clara was truly delighted with this!  We stopped in Hood River for a great dinner at Big Horse where we enjoyed a window-front table with a view of the Columbia River.  It was a great (almost) end to our adventurous day!
 Clara playing in the stream with a stick.  Later she even put her feet in..I was shocked!

 The 2 bunnies eating grass across the field have been spotted. (Note Clara's bare feet. Again, I'm shocked!)

The full speed bunny chase!
