Southern California with Ruth, Bonnie, Mitchell, Sarah, and Drew and Washington, Idaho, and Wanatchee with Koki, Joshua, Miya, Kai, Sarah, and Drew

Our summer holiday together enjoying our family life, With Bonnie, Mitchell, and Ruth at Temecula we walked the neighborhood, ventured out towards Palm Desert and Palm Springs and did walks on local trails. We even had an afternoon in Coronado Island. We learned about SMART home monitors and lighting. Our appetite were filled with Italian, Local and Barbecue, and Mexican foods. The best was our conversations sharing our experiences and thoughts about many matters. Sarah, Drew, Rebecca, and Leonard then flew to Spokane for another family adventure. Spokane, Nearbye Cherry picking, walking along a river wiht views of giant carved stone, trees, and even an eagle, hiking up the mountain to see the Spokane river in the distance and then greeted by all the wild flowers! Of course, our adventure into the Idaho mountains in the Ford F-150 then on mountain bikes scared the bejeesus out of Leonard going through the 1.6 mile tunnel wiht a little light on a domed shaped dirt road with streams of water calling his bicycle ot come get wet! Rebecca and Leonard went into the Palouse and then with Drew and Kai driving the truck we went to the Grand Coulee Dam and then visited the neighborhoods of Rebeccas youth and met Skeeter by the Wanatchee river. Our stay wiht the Spokane Jacobs was filled wiht ping pong, barbecues, restaurants, and great conversations and fun.
