June Trip to USA - Part 2

Dear Family and Friends,

Before we got on the road to drive to Richland, WA in our rented car, we met Kylie and Bryce for breakfast.  It was wonderful spending special time with them.  It is hard to believe that Bryce is as tall as he is.  Here we are checking out each other outside the restaurant.

After breakfast we headed over the Cascade mountains to the sunny and dry side of Washington.

Our next week was a full one.  We went to Richland to pick up Matt. The next day we drove to Baker City, OR to hug Karen and Randy.  The following day we drove to Nampa Idaho for Heidi and Austin's wedding. From there we flew to Minnesota to visit our Mickelson kids before flying back to Richland for Cannon's high school graduation.    Michael and Kathy had their plates full with Heidi getting married in two days and Cannon's graduation the following Friday.  

We spent one day in Richland, Matt and I shopping and getting everything we needed for the wedding and Chuck spent the day riding Michael's new e-bike around the city.

Here is Michael giving instructions on how to operate the bike.

The next day we drove to Baker City and we had a nice visit and meal with Karen and Randy.  They are doing great.  It was wonderful to see them both so healthy.

The next morning we drove the back roads to Nampa, Idaho.  The scenery was fabulous.  This is rape seed growing with mountains in the background.

We met up with Kylie and Bryce at the airbnb that she secured for us to share before going to the rehearsal dinner.

Heidi and Austin had their rehearsal dinner at Austin's parents house.

The backyard was set up with a country theme.  Barbecue was served and a fun time was had by all.

In the next post I will share all about the wedding.

Love,

Nancy
