We traveled from WA to OR then to ID where we spent the night to rest. Then we went on to WY where we spent 3 days visiting all of my MILs side of the family. It was great to meet and remeet many cousins, aunts and uncles and even second cousins. We even did our own church service at the christian camp that we stayed at. We went on a mountain hike, experienced the Bar J in Jacksons Hole, WY and managed not to be eaten by the local bears.
Then we treked on down to CO to visit my brother and his family. They live in an amazing part of the mountain where my brothers runs resteraunts for the ski area. Beautiful! We had so much fun with them and look forward to future visits.
We were also able to pop down into Denver and visit CCAI, our adoption agency. This was a special pleasure for us since we have been working with them over the last 4 years on all of our chinese adoptions. The ladies that work there are all special and dear to our hearts. It is an amazing organization. Not only do they assist families in adopting but they raise tons of money for chinese orphanages etc. We hope to reuse our dossier this next year to adopt a little girl - if God allows financially. We also the pleasure of meeting up with a few of the families we recently traveled with to adopt our children.
We are now home and in the process of doing too many loads of laundry, putting all the traveling gear away and looking at the grass that has grown out of control in only a week and a half.
The boys had a blast and were so happy to meet and know they are part of such a great extended family. They were welcomed with open arms by everyone. As soon as we got home Adam yelled "Washington I love you, no hot, no cold!" I guess WY was a little too hot for him - that and the snakes, he was ready to leave:)
