Visiting with the Campbells

I went to visit Kelli and family on the the 5th of this month, and came back on the 12th. I had prayed fervently that I would have good travels back and forth, as I don't like driving over the passes in snow or heavy rain and wind. I had my prayers heard, because both ways, I had good weather and no problems.
Kelli and I got to go shopping one day, thanks to her nice husband/babysitter, Allen. We had lunch at a very good Italian restaurant in Wenatchee...yum! We were shopping for some clothing items for the cruise we are going on in May. I found a windbreaker and slacks, and a dress..Yay! It was reminicent of the days when she worked at Shopko and I would come and visit and we would shop there on her days off!
Kelli's kids are VERY smart! Cassidy is more like 15 instead of 3...she makes up her own songs, and stories, and whenever she sees older people she says things like: " that is my other grandma who I visited last year"...hmmm. She also likes to dance, and we think she should be a "clogger" as she stomps more than anything.
Keyton is up on all dinosaurs and is very particular on what pages and things he wants to save in each book that he brings home from the library. He started T-ball while I was there. He has endless energy, so this will be great for him! He is very kind to people, so he will go a long way in life!
Aubrie is still a toddler, but she really likes dogs.."woof, woof!" and Dora "dee dee deedee Doha".
She likes to have books read to her and also likes to RUN outside.

Poor Grandma had trouble keeping up with her at the ball field, as I don't run very well:)

So, it was fun being there! Kelli and I also kept our tradition up of watching the Twilight movies together, and saved the last one to watch at her house. It was really good, except when several were killed in a battle that wasn't in the book! I had to leave the room because it bothered me so much!
Then come to find out it was a "vision" and not what really happened! WHEW!
Funny how imaginary things still seem real to me.

One other note- On the way back on the Edmonds/Kingston ferry, I walked up to the front of the ship to look out on our crossing. Right above me in the air was a seagull- he never flapped his wings, he would move across the windows a little, but he was right there all the way across the water, from one dock to the other. I wondered if he enjoyed being in that place, where the ship seemed to push him right along...I think that 's how we are, too..If the ship is Heavenly Father, and we are the seagull, would it mean that as long as we are doing what's right and trying our best to be a good person, that Heavenly Father will be there behind us giving us an easier trip through life? I don't know...I like to "liken" things !
Anyway, here are a few pictures from being at Kelli's. We have such fun together- best friends, I think!
