Picking Up Jenavieve

On Tuesday, June 19, we left with Brennan for a quick, quick trip to Washington to pick Jenavieve up for her summer visit. We drove all night...did I mention ALL night?...and, then arrived in Battle Ground, Wa, which is where Travis' parents just moved to. After seeing their new property and visiting for a little bit, we left Brennan with Grandma Geri and we started driving the last 2 hours to Shelton.
Upon our arrival, we were able to visit with Trevor (Travis' twin brother) and his wife, Marie, their daughter, Makenzie and Marie's mom, Cheryl (who is awesome, btw). So, we had a nice time. Later that night, while I attended Makenzie's soccer practice with Marie, Travis was able to go pick up Jenavieve! YAY! He was almost beside himself with excitement :)...even with the fatigue of the drive! 
We spent Wednesday visiting with the family some more and were able to visit some good family friends, the Himlie's, as well. Thursday morning, we began trekking it back. We stayed in Battle Ground for dinner and I took a little nap, before we loaded up Brennan & Jenavieve and were on our way at about 11 p.m. The drive back was ridiculously long, but we made it home safe and the journey was worth it, because we got Jenavieve :).
The pictures are of some of the playing that Jenavieve and Makenzie did before we had to leave...
