One More Washington Post

Wednesday Meg and the older girls went on a road trip to the cute little town of Leavenworth.

They ate a lot of pretzels...

They all love to hammock.

Kait couldn't come so Meg made sure to include her.

And of course Megan made sure to go through the Nutcracker Museum, where she saw thousands of nutcrackers of all shapes and sizes.

The girls skipped it.

My dad would have totally loved this.

These two bought wolf shirts so they could be like Meg--who also has a wolf shirt, and is a collector of sorts of animal shirts.

Meanwhile, back at the house.

Natalie and I talked all. day. long.

Aside from me stopping to take an online class, we never stopped talking.

Cardston and Janie emerged from the basement long enough to blow up birthday balloons for Makenzie.

By the time Meg and the girls got home it was around midnight, so we had one last hurrah with a midnight marshmallow roast.

We flew home the next day and in the airport the girls were asking me when they could go back.

It really was so much fun!

And by the end of the trip, Jensen had stopped growling at Lilly.
