Just got home yesterday from a little roadtrip to Spokane to visit with friends and then Suncadia. We had a blast in Spokane and Suncadia was a treat. Photo gallery and video clips below!
While my girls were marching in their first parade, I was travelling to Portland for another Portland Beavers game. When I got on the flight, I asked the captain which side of the plane he was going to put Mt. St. Helens on. He told me don’t worry, he’d put it on both. I wondered what he meant, but soon found out when he took us on a little side trip flyby of the volcano (after getting permission from air traffic control). I got this video as we passed by the first time:
On the way back I got some still photos, plus Spirit Lake and the Toutle River Valley. Also included in this gallery is a link to the live flight tracker, where you can see how we flew out of the way! Later in the evening I got some nice photos at the PGE Park fireworks display.

As us three girls were out walking this morning, we discovered that the adjoining neighborhood was doing a parade and they invited us to join. So we walked around the block with all the other kids riding trikes and bikes. Their first parade!
