Fun with Friends

Our weekend was spent with Katie, her fiance Nick, and Katie's parents outside of Rochester. Katie was one of our adopted kids in Stehekin so the tables were turned as she cooked for us and even gave up her bed for us to sleep in. (Don't worry, she had another bed to sleep in at her parent's house.) Friday evening was filled with chit chat and an early bedtime for us. On Saturday we decided to venture out to Mt. St. Helens. Even though the viewpoint was closed for the season, we enjoyed the museum, elk sightings (to include running up a hillside to get a closer look), taking pictures of the mud flows, and walking along a few nature trails. On the way back to their farm, we had some tasty pizza. The evening was fun and relaxing with a few card games, some home made wine, and venison fajitas. A trail ride was arranged for this morning and the weather even cooperated. It was awesome to be back in the saddle! Our departure was around 12:00, so we said goodbye to our friends at Canterhill and made the trip back to Seattle. You see, our train was cancelled so now we sit (and Steven sleeps) on a bus on the way to Wenatchee to meet some friends. I must say a bus is roomier than a plane, but not as fast as a train. We should be headed up lake in the morning for our week in Stehekin :-) Just a side note.....most of these pictures were taken with my phone, so please excuse the poor quality.
