Motorcycle Lotto: Jared is the winner today. I think we have a new accounting system in the works for the results…stay tuned.
We got out of Springfield 15 minutes early! That was amazing as Kirk, a friend from youth group all those years ago, dropped by to visit when he saw the trailer at the church’s parking lot with Alaska plates. He’s an assistant pastor.
Arielle was a bit under the weather today. Zander slept most of the day in the van. No more throwing up - but the tropical trots began. Jared is feeling “iffy” but seems “ok”.
We are now waiting for the girls to show up for a quick visit. Their schedules this week are going to be crazy as they are support help for putting on the convention. Our “home” for the next week is a stone’s throw from the freeway. It’s a beautiful park…but I’m shocked that folks stay here LONG TERM….the noise would get to me…something about sitting in the shade, roses at your shoulders and exhaust at your back. ::snort:: They have clean facilities and a nice playground. They are 10 minutes from the hotel where convention is and 15 - 20 minutes from the church. They do nickel and dime you to death here….for instance wi fi has been free at all parks that advertised it…here it is $7 a day. Mike is thinking about moving - but we shall see.
We drove through some beautiful country and some not so beautiful country too. ::snort:: Here are some scenes.

Quote of the Day: We are now officially OFF leave and ON TDY (temporary duty).
What a night. Zander got sick. He began to throw up late last night. He’s the first child we’ve had who threw up IN HIS SLEEP.

Oh, you poor things as everyone continued to get sick. I guess the blessing is that it was only 1-2 at a time?
Gorgeous, gorgeous of Mt. Hood and Multnomah Falls.
YES - AND with the exception of the day that Zander and Jared felt queasy - we didn't have to DRIVE on days when folks were REALLY sick....this is a blessing!!! and a bit of a Miracle.
