We're back in the Northwest!

Well, it is nice to be back in the Northwest.  We arrived in Spokane on Wednesday evening after a very eventful trip from Richmond.  While we were waiting to board our flight in the Richmond airport, Kyle's name was called over the loudspeaker.  Silly Kyle thought maybe they were going to upgrade us to first class (he's so optimistic, I'm more of a realist). What actually happened was that United Airlines informed us that our bag had gotten stuck on the conveyor belt and was "demolished".  They had to give us a new suitcase to put all of our stuff in and they informed us that a few of our things had been "shredded".  Turns out that only a few of my things were ruined  and we have to file a claim with TSA to get it all sorted out. What are the odds?!

On a more fun note, this weekend a few of our friends from Seattle came into town to hang out on the local lakes and enjoy the nice weather we're having in Spokane (the Lord has answered my prayers for cooler temperatures!!).  On Friday, we headed to Hayden Lake in Idaho to see if Kyle still remembered how to wake board (jk). 

Here's Kyle on Hayden Lake

The weather wasn't the greatest on Friday, so we headed to a closer lake on Saturday.  The weather was perfect and we were able to hang out on the boat all day.  Our friends Dan & Jodi brought their dog Roxy along.  Here she is preparing for a swim:

All in all it was a great weekend hanging out with friends and enjoying the scenery!

Sorry to hear your stuff was ruined by the airline. I don't know how that happens, but I've seen it occassionally. Once when I picked my mom up at the airport her bag was "demolished." It looked like it had been set on fire somehow. The material was more melted than torn. Who knows?
