Traveling to the Reunion

I promised Rebecca I'd keep her up to date about the reunion, since she's so bummed she won't be there. 

We left early Thursday morning on our trek to Washington.  North of Kansas City, we ran into flooding.   We had to take a detour off the interstate for about 50 miles.  I assume part of the interstate was under water.  And we couldn't cut over to Lincoln on hwy 2.  That was also under water.  Why didn't anyone talk about all this FLOODING?

I think this was deliberate-- they breached the levees in the north so there would not be flooding in Memphis and New Orleans.  This was about 6 weeks ago, and they don't expect the water to recede for another 6 weeks or more.  The second day we drove through Wyoming and spent the night at Salt Lake City.    We passed great bluffs. 

When we got into Oregon we stopped by the roadside.  I love these "weeds".  We picked blackberries and munched on the the rest of the way.  Then when Jonathan's family came to visit the kids devoured the last of them.

Jonathan and Kristy and family also spent the at Adams. And Sally and Steve and Sara and some grandchildren came to visit Adam as well. Adam and Savannah babysat some of the kids while the adults (minus Zoe) went food shopping. This is only half the pandemonium at Adam's.
