Trip to Palouse

My camera is broken, it is about the fifth camera I have broken in just a few short years so I used my phone to take pictures.  I think they turned out alright.  It is a short 6 hour drive to where some of my favorite people in the world live.  She lives in a little house in a tiny town and she does what we all have learned to do, make the best of where you are at. We are adept at making our little piece of the world feel like heaven.  We went swimming in the public pool, I never do things like that at home.  It was fun, the kids swam and swam until they were hungry and cranky.  We hiked at the arboratorium and rolled down the biggest hill the kids have ever seen.  Chels and I rolled once too.   Not quite as fun as when you are little. I got a new tattoo, she did it at her birthday party while Lucas made cake, letting the little ones stir the batter with unending patience.  We watched the fireworks in Pullman at midnight.  The kids got to ride a bus at night.  I wished I had more pictures.
