Aug 16th and 17th
   
We took the river scenic route to Selah Wa.  This is the Yakima River that the road follows for several miles.  It was a treat to see along the dry grass along the hill sides.  We would have liked to stop in Ellensburg to see friends on the way but too many things to do and not enough time to do them so will catch them on the next time through when we have time for a descent visit.  Second picture is my nephew Robert, myself and niece Theresa.  Next we have Austin, Vickie's son, Billy, Brendon, Vickie and Roberts son,and Kristin, Vickie's daughter.  Great kids.  Brendon had just had his 6th birthday the day before.
       
Theresa and their mother Judy then Vickie and Robert.  The kids wanted to take punkin head to the park across the street and then wanted to have their picture taken with him so we went and had some fun.  Of course punkin head took the opportunity to climb a tree!
     
Couldn't resist the beautiful sunflowers in their front yard.  Robert in front of their swimming pool that sits in front of their garage.
     
Kids playing with their games on the floor, Theresa feeding her Mom as she is invalid.  Punkin head getting acquainted with their kitty, never did get too close.
 
Yours truly for a together shot, poor Billy's lap!  We stayed until afternoon then had to get on to Richland where we got a motel room and met up with our friend Sally and her daughter Honey to visit for the evening as they were on their way to Alberta Canada and we were there to visit Billys cousin, didn't get their picture this time. We would have missed seeing them in Salem if we hadn't met there in Richland.   Next morning we all had breakfast together then they went on their way and we went to visit Billys' cousin Ondean and her husband Dale.  After a nice visit and some watermelon and cantaloupe we headed out for Terrebonne Oregon and a visit with our friends Randy and Pat.  Spent the night there and then went on to Salem where we had some things to do before going on to Port Orford to pick up our 5th wheel.  More later about the rest of the trip.
