Special
Visitors
Part Canadian cousin Wayne
came to visit. It was so
exciting to see him; it has
been many years. Chantel
and her cousins were able to
meet them for the first time.
Made me realize that it was
time to do some traveling...
Maybe even go to Canada to
visit family. We are planning Shauntel brought home a
our trip soon. Frog from Grand Coulee
and a Toad from Scootney!
