Here are some pictures from my\’c2\~recent trip to\’c2\~the Tri-Cities, WA (as in, returned this afternoon). These all were taken when I went on a field trip to\’c2\~the Country Mercantile with Mystie and her homeschooling friends.\par

We had a great trip – as usual, the boys had a grand time at “Grandma Rachel’s” and got to play with all of their Tri-Cities friends (aka the children of my Tri-Cities friends). Also, Uncle Sam came home for a night, in honor of my mom’s birthday, so we got to see him, and his Newfoundland puppy, Ducky. Ezra was terrifed of the dog, but Judah reached the point of being\’c2\~cautiously friendly toward said creature. \’c2\~We also enjoyed seeing my brother Ben, and his wife and their two little kids. We had “traveling mercies,” too – two very uneventful trips. The trip home today was absolutely gorgeous – a beautiful, clear fall day.\par

I’m holding a baby shower at my house tomorrow night, so I should go either get a good night’s sleep beforehand or do something productive!
