Happy Birthday to my friend Jonathan Schulz!

Day 11 to now...

This day we left Mike and Melodi's house and left for the church. It was one hour from the church. On the way we were looking for the space needle in the distance and Abi spotted it before we could even say "Uncle Bob". When we got to the church Abi literally jumped out of the car and ran to the office. We got to the office and there was a tiny fish tank, and in pastor Byron's office there was a Boa Constrictor and a King snake. When Abi saw the snake the snake tried to strike her but hit his head on the glass. It was very funny. Ethan and I laughed hard. Then we left to see our house. It was so big. It has three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and an enormous bonus room. Downstairs there is a garage, and a big laundry room. It also has a gigantic kitchen and even a dining room. The dining room is now filled with our boxes and our desks. I felt puny the first time I walked into the house. It's back yard is small. In the neighbor hood they have a creek and they are building a playground for the neighbor hood. There are trails that I can hike on or bike on. We live very very close to Mount Piltchuk which you can hike up to top of. Hopefully we'll get to do that sometime. It hasn't snowed here yet, but I can go to the mountain to sled anyway. I keep asking Mom and Dad to go but we are to busy right now. Oh and some people gave us UP and Sleeping Beauty, and gift card to go to the movies, to dinner, and for ice cream. The people here are really nice and I am making many friends. We even went to someones birthday party! For the party we swam at an indoor pool! It has been fun so far...

Day 8,9,10

Day eight we stayed at the Smiths house in Bend,OR. We got to see Yvea and Sophia's house. We played v-tech and we took a look around the property. They had deer and horses on their land. They also had alot of trees on it too. They had a dog that was a Golden Retriever named Montana. I was playing v-tech when Montana walked up and rested his head on my knee and watched me play all morning. I was wondering what he was doing when he followed me outside and inside and it turns out he liked me. It was creepy at first but I got used to it. The next day we went sledding. Check out my dads blog if you want to see some footage of our sledding. It was creepy and made my eyes water at first but it was fun! There was about four feet of snow!!! We left on day ten,that day we drove to portland. Along the way we saw Mt. Hood. It was enormously huge. And that night we stayed at Melodi and Mike's house. We were an hour away from Arlington...

Today we went to Mount Shasta! It was amazing! Then we started to go into the mountains! It was sooo cool, and we saw Shasta Lake! We stayed in Clamath,Oregon. Our hotel was amazing! Day 7 done.

Day 6

Today we went to hang out with friends at San Fransisco. We went to Pier 39 and saw sea loins fighting each other It was cool!We went to a play on a play ground. I did a monkey bars that spun round and round. It was fun! We also saw The Golden Gate Bridge it was amazing!!! A new day awaits.....

Day 5

Day 5 January 5, 2010

Today we saw Hoover Dam. It was the biggest dam that I have ever seen. I wouldn't stand on the wall for a million bucks or whatever you say. The weather was very sunny and clear. It was amazing seeing the air force base in California but it was in the middle of the Mojave Desert. It was clear so we could see for miles on end but of dirty mountains. I was amazed at the sight of mist in the mountains that looked like Scotland. I wanted to just take a vacation in those mountains. The reason I wanted to take a vacation there was because there was orange groves right past the mountains. Oranges are amazing when they are on a tree. Day 5 done.

Day 4

Day 4 January 4, 2010

Today we drove from nine o-clock. It took us almost five hours to get to The Grand Canyon. The sights were amazing like one side of the canyon was covered with snow and the other half was covered with dirt. I took some photos of The Grand Canyon. I will post those pictures later and it was freezing cold outside. It was snowing in New Mexico,snowing!And in the mountains too!Tiring day today. Tomorrow a new day awaits...

Cool prairie dogs

Day 2 January 2, 2010

We had a great night's sleep. Today we kept to the road. Never took a potty break except once! We are wiped out from the night in Mississippi. It was tiring driving since ten O-clock I tell you, very tiring.


Day 3 January 3, 2010

Today we drove for quite a while. We rode through Texas and now we were in New Mexico. We saw ten prairie dogs right next to the high way I mean right next to the high way! It was amazing and my mom might post a video of the prairie dogs.

Day 1

Day 1
January 1,2010

Today we went to the Mississippi River and enjoyed sight seeing .And for lunch we had Pizza Hut. All you can eat buffet. It was so good I tell you, so good! I am wiped out and don't want to go sight seeing, but I would do anything to get out of the car. Anything but hurting my family, that is for sure. Don't know what lies ahead but I am going to trust God for what happens. It was freezing outside and it wasn't pretty I tell you. Now we are in Arkansas. It was two hour trip on a freezing cold night. Crossing 5 states is tiring. It is going to be a long trip.
