Cashmere,WA

Leavenworth, WA

The ladies enjoyed a "bit" of window shopping

and the boys enjoyed the river, what a beautiful place!

The kiddos Loved it!

My boy leading a hunt for Bigfoot, they are on the trail. Before the river we made it to the hat store to try on hats!

We had to disguise ourselves, then we snuck away to window shop!

we made a clean getaway!

ROADTRIP 2009!!!!

Ok so roadtrip is an under statement!

To say the least.

But we needed to add a roadtrip for the year.

This is us leaving Montana for the last time on Sept 21.

A sad day! This is a picture of the 45 parallel.

Exactly halfway between the equator and the north pole.

Pretty view.

This is WA we spent our first night on the road here, well not in this field...

In WA! we camped in a friends back yard, it was super fun!

this is a picture of one of many apple orchards all over. It was beautiful,

I wanted to get out and pick my own, but no time for that, when we drove by the pick your own places they were all closed! Grrrr

oh well maybe next time.

This was quite a convinient "Porta Potty"

we passed on the way to wenatchee,

It is a jump on -and go-jump off style!

$50000 silverdollar saloon, a popular potty stop for me and the kids on roadtrips.
the place is pretty cool theve got silver dollars all over the place they are all glued everywhere.

MMM

I soo love this picture It so reminds me of Bruce almighty.
LOVE the view!

I soo love these girls!
& miss them dearly

I so love the light in these pictures

We finally made it up to the M,

while we were loading the truck,

we took a break to Hike the M.

YES we took a "break" to Hike.

It took the girls like 14 minutes to hike it, and us? like 45!

I LOVED the views from the M! I so wish I had gone there sooner.

Hello from Ft. Missoula!

My Handsome Husband!
No my son apparently holds his hats up with his nose!

My little loggger!

This was a welcomed break from packing.

Yes I made everyone break, fr an educational stop on our

"Bucket"list for Missoula.

We had fun, then back home to do more packing and get ready for the truck to arrive the next day!

Memories of Missoula Market

So Im thinkin these guys used to work on the inside of this building.

They were actually pretty good at their variety show.

The coffee, and friends...

And the beautiful flowers

So I know I have waited so long to post this post, October is over,

Missoula's Farmers Markets of 2009 are a thing of the past.

I think this place will be with me forever, I kinda miss it.

Prison visit

Am found a "coroline door"

Thats where the other mother and father live.

I guess you gotta see the movie,

it was cute. There were "asecret tunnels"

(from Nacho libre)

it was wierd

there are really tunnels under this whole place

Reaching out
Asleep in my room
Beds not too comfy
I said let me out!
Please!!
Don't just stand there and stare at me!!!
Helloooo!
Let me out!!
Seriously!
And take these cement shoes off me NOW!

Intresting tactic with heavy shoes.

I don't EVER want to see this again!

This was the line that if the inmates crossed, they would be shot by
the Guard in tower 7.

Fun in the dirt

I know you all think in MT. it is always snowing,

but here is the little one making dirt angels

Seriously!

This girl is filthy!

Those clothes used to be black!

LOL!

Take the cindy & Tony Prison tour!

This is a cell

Thats a "bed" behind us.

Not too comfortable looking This is the get away car....

This is the "Hole"

Aka solitary confinement

Theres no light in this room!

Tottally dark when both doors are shut

And this is the "yard" with the guard tower in the back...

They're watching us!
