Quick Trip to Yakima and a Visit With Friends

A few weeks ago Peter and I had to make a quick day trip down to Yakima to pick the boys up and bring them home. The original plan for them to hitch a ride home with Pete's sister fell through for some reason and they had to be back that Friday night in order to attend cub camp the following day, so there was no way around not going. I spent the morning quickly running errands to fix a tire at Les Schwab and doing a few tasks at the school before picking Pete up from work and making the long drive down. We made a quick stop in Ellensburg. We walked the campus and Pete made a quick tour around the newly remodeled Technology building where he spent his years working on getting his degree. We also looked around the Wildcat Bookstore, finding a few CWU items to purchase. After that, we finished our drive down to Yakima. We stopped at my parents house, which the boys happened to be visiting. We didn't have long to stay and visit before having to head over to Pete's parents house for dinner and to grab the boys stuff. Our friend Grace and her son Eli were able to sneak over to visit us. It's been a year since we last saw each other. Her son was just a newborn when I last saw him. Now he's a rambunctious toddler, and a cute one I might add. After all was said and done, we finally left Yakima around 9pm to head home. It was a long night, along with dealing with the dog trying to run off when we stopped for a bathroom break and calling 911 to report a drunk driver. It was officially Saturday when we finally able to crawl into bed.
