Friday Morning we headed for Arlington to help our granddaughter Jackie and husband John celebrate their first anniversary. The party was on Saturday, so we made arrangements to spend Friday night camped at my sister Pam's place in Lake Stevens. We only got lost once, the GPS quit just as we came into Enumclaw. I banged on it and got it going again, only to have it quit the first bump we hit after lunch. It is in the garbage now! I tried to do the route by memory (BIG mistake!), but knew I was in trouble when I saw the Renton city limits sign. I gave up then and broke out the smart phone to guide us to Pam's.
In the picture, Pam is showing us a quilt she's making.
We had a nice time Friday evening visiting with Pam, Jim, Raye and their neighbors. Pam cooked a great dinner for all of us, I was so full that I did not have my usual bed time snack.
In the morning we headed for John's folks place North East of Arlington. They have a beautiful view of Whitehorse Mt. from their place.
Jackie's dad, Joe, his sister Sherry, Pam and Raye were there for the party along with a bunch of John's relatives. John's mom Tami had prepared a great lunch, with the sweetest corn on the cob we have had in a long time. After lunch and cake, Jackie and John opened cards and gifts
Later in the afternoon, John's folks gave us a tour of the farm. They have Alpacas, chickens, calves, cows, dogs, goats, horses, pigeons, and pigs.
John's pig had just had a litter of 11 a few days ago, they were sure cute! One was making his escape out the door, maybe he is camera shy!
Vera and Tami are with the Alpaca's, Vera got to pet the dark colored one, but the light colored one was having none of that. John mentioned it might spit if it was pushed, so that was the end of that. We spent the rest of the day watching activities around the farm and visiting. Sunday morning, we were up early and left for home about 7:30. By the time we got to Toledo, I was really sleepy! We pulled into the flying field and several friends were there flying, so I put in 4 flights, which really refreshed me. We got most of the unloading and cleanup done before settling in for the night. It is amazing how good it feels to get home even after just a few days away having fun.
