On our way to Ellensburg, we made a quick stop over at another relative’s house in Oly and look at all the pretty sand dollars we found on the beach!

Lots more animal friends in Ellensburg…plus, I didn’t know cantaloupe grew over there, but apparently it does…at least the tiny variety.

Cocoa had so much attention in three days that I think he could have benefited from some of Walter’s prescription downers toward the end.

I think this is Rowdy

I know this is Ladigo (pretty sure I spelled that wrong – sorry Dad)

and the new guy…he’s shy…

the rest of the horses were grazing afar, or in so much bug armor that I couldn’t really see him anyway (Bubba)

but there was Scout

and Ruby

It was pretty nice and refreshing to be in a hot, dry climate for a change…and then we packed up for home…

Okay, that’s not really our luggage, but it could have been (some people have a thing for shoes…my parents have a thing for suitcases – there are like five more in the garage too. no joke.).
