Presley in Bend, Grandma visits, and Logan's back

 Presley travelled with the Lindholm's to Bend, OR from July 7th-July 10th.

Presley and I met Amy and Grandma in Desert Aire on the 7th and Presley left with Amy and Grandma came with me so that she could spend a few days in Wenatchee. 

Our first stop was to bring Rylan home from Cashmere.  He was eager to drive Grandma around so I let her take the front seat. 

We survived!

Harper's been working on a little "Christmas" room under the stairs and she was excited to show Grandma. 

On Friday afternoon we took Rylan to his driver's training and we shopped at Urban. 

Later in the evening we all went and had ice cream at Hot Rod Cafe. 

Grandma had the black licorice ice cream, which reminded her of Grandma Berries. 

We used the walking bridge to walk across the highway and walk to the campground. 

Just a little walk while we ate and talked. 

(Grandma had black teeth at this point)

Dad got called in for an emergency trauma at the hospital so he didn't join us when we went to the Wild Huckleberry for breakfast. 

Then Harper really wanted to take Grandma to make a ceramic at Inspirations. 

We did that on Saturday afternoon. 

Harper, Grandma and I did a Christmas in July piece and Ry did a coffee mug. 

Grandma's gnome was definitely the best. 

My ugly Christmas sweater--it was ugly for sure!

Harper's gnome

Rylan's mug

Dad finished up at the hospital and then we went to Leavenworth to walk around. 

We spent some time in the Christmas Shoppe. 

We thought Grandma needed Cousin Eddie for her village. 

We got back home and had dinner and then waited until Logan arrived on his 11:50 PM flight from Seattle. 

Dave, Ry and Grandma went to pick him up. 

Harper and I stayed home. 

I thought Harper would fall asleep but she woke up to hug Logan when he walked in the door. 

Presley was traveling home on Sunday from Bend. 

We swam in the morning and then drove to Vantage where Papa met Grandma, Archie, and I and we switched riders again. 

We had a great visit, even Archie and Chewy. 

Meanwhile in Bend, OR....

Presley rode/drove ATV's 

Did a little shopping

and went river rafting down the Deschutes River

A long weekend to pack in lots of fun!
