We are in the 'couve at G & G Wagener's house! It was a treacherous trip and LONG for the kids. Danielle has proved yet again, she does NOT enjoy traveling. It was a long 8.5 hours in the car as Kent called it, "Death Highway." The gorge was not so good, we left early in the morning, and got through before the freezing rain hit, but it was slow going. We had all the confidence in the world for Kent's driving, because "I'm a very good driver," (Rainman, in case you peeps didn't know). He is a Spokane boy, and has lots of experience in that kind of weather, but I tell ya, not everyone out there knows what they're doing. That's the scariest part.....
We stopped in Pasco and got some chains for the mini-van, just in case. We made it all the way to the 'Couve without needing them. Then when we tried to get up my parent's ginormous hill we couldn't quite make it. We slid down a few times, then decided the chains would be a good idea. We are all safe and sound and enjoying the freezing rain, snow and sleet here. At least there's not three feet of snow here too!
The everyday happenings of our chaotic lives with three young children.
