To Usk & Back, In Pictures

Getting there in the new Odyssey. Devon and I took turns riding in the back with the kids, for extra leg room. Jordan was all set up with her pump & everything, right in the van! Devon plugged in his laptop and worked for the first 2 hours of the ride, finishing up a report, while Avery took a nap using the SleepyTime Headrest. Highly recommended!! Riverfront Park, Spokane, Washington (home of the 1974 World Expo). This is the carousel that I used to ride on when I was a kid (usually on a school trip). Sheep: Before, During, & After Shots, tags, and banding (the boys), too Avery was much more interested in Patches, than the noisy shears & squealing sheep.
Brrrrr, it's chilly now
4-wheelers & 2-wheelers, yippee!
