SEA to YXE done

After two hard days of driving we're finally home!
 Nothing much interesting to report; yesterday we packed up camp in Redmond and drove all the way to Creston. We woke up early this morning and completed the rest of our drive so that I could spend some time with Odin celebrating his 4th birthday! 
Lots of driving, but a great first Potlatch! And a great way to celebrate my 6 month half-birthday.  

*Mom's note:
This is the first trip that we've brought toys for Eevie to play with. I kept them fresh by rotating them every couple of hours or so (while she slept) so she could wake up to a "new" toy. 
We once again brought too many clothes, as she double wore each outfit. I just keep waiting for the day when she gets in to mud or something, so will probably still pack assuming 1.5 outfits per day. 
It was also pretty hot out a couple of the days so we went through more formula than anticipated. We also started to introduce small amounts of water this trip timing it to when we were feeding her small amounts of "real" food. She really enjoyed the fresh sockeye salmon sashimi that we had at our stop in Abbotsford

Potlatch days 3-4

We made it safely to Seattle yesterday and spent the morning wandering around the Pike Place market. We then went to see the Space Needle and the EMP museum. 
Today we watched dad play his first 3 games of the tournament, and tomorrow we'll do the same all over again!
