We left Sunday at midnight and drove straight through to Bellingham. Luckilly, the kids didn't get up until we got to Oregon, which was nice. We arrived in Bellingham around 4:30pm to suprise Rons parents (they thought we wouldn't be there until Tuesday). So, Tuesday, we went down to Seattle to go to the Science museum and had a blast. Wednesday and Thursday, Ron played in a couple golf tournaments, so we just hung out, went to the park, got an oil change, etc. Friday, we went to Seattle again to go to the zoo and had lots of fun. Saturday, the boys played another tourney in the morning, and later on, we bbq'd and went down to the lake to ride on the boat and do some tubeing. Sunday, we went to church and that afternoon, Ron's Grandpa K, Uncle Mike, Aunt Michelle and cousin Jason came up for a visit and we had fun sitting on the deck and enoying each others company. Monday, the kids and I stayed home while everyone else went golfing with Grandpa Smeesh, and that night had baked Salmon...Yum! Tuesday, we drove down to Richland to visit my Uncle Bob and his family. That night, we went to have very yummy pizza to celebrate my cousin Chris' 18th birthday. Wednesday night we left the kids with my cousin Meg and the adults went to the temple. That was awesome! It would be REALLY nice to have a temple 5 minutes away! Thursday, Ron played the Tri-Cities Country Club and was supposed to use the name "Tim Shannon". For some reason, he said his name was "Bob Shannon" and the girl said "I don't have a 'Bob' I have a 'Tim'." So, being the quick thinker, he says that 'Bob' is his middle name. Yeah, okay Tim Bob Shannon! Well, he ends up shooting 9 under and gets the course record, but he's under the name Tim Bob Shannon! That night, we went mini golfing with the kiddos and my Aunt and Meg (uncle Bob had to work late and Chris was working as well). Friday morning, Ron and my uncle went golfing and Ron TIES the course record with 7 under! This time, though, he's Ron again! When they got back we headed out to Reno. We left at 2pm and got to Reno at 12:30am (long drive!) We stayed at the Peppermill, and weren't impressed with our smoking room (which we requested non-smoking) among other things that weren't impressing. Saturday, we went to Tahoe and enjoyed our time there. We left Sunday morning and FINALLY made it back to Bakersfield around 5:30pm. Anyway, Enjoy a compilation of our pics. I took a bunch more, but there were too many to post!
