Bother Steve, his wife Wendy, their two kids Cody and Ryan and their cousin Shane all came up to visit this summer. When we met them at the airport, I was inspired to ask if I could keep the kiddies for a couple of days while Steve and Wendy visited with Mom and Dad. To my surprise, they said yes, and we were off.

Our first stop was Ft. Vancouver, birthplace of Oregon (and Washington), where we got to meet these Calvary guys (l to r: some girl, Ryan - hands on head - Shane, then Cody).
