Family!

Right after the Ruperts left, Zeke, Eli and Brynn arrived from Chicago and were able to stay for a 10 day visit. Brynn and I did a lot of bread making - I think her personal favorite was the cinnamon cranberry sourdough bread. Eli enjoyed watching and eating our creations - boy can he eat!

Other activities included sewing (Brynn made two pillow cases) as well as gardening, piano playing, swimming, and singing.
We also took several day trips and enjoyed taking the kids to the High Dessert Museum where saw a baby porcupine. Other highlights were the Tumalo Waterfalls and a trip to the Petersen Rock Garden in Redmond.

After a wonderful visit the kids headed back for Chicago (that was last Tuesday morning). Here is a great shot at the airport with Eli and Brynn.

We left Wednesday morning for Yellowstone (that's right -the following day). I've got some great shots and will hopefully get them posted tomorrow.
