Last Thursday we met up with my brother’s family at the Tamarack RV Park in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho for an overnight before we guided them up to our home. It was so good to finally see them in person. The last time we were together was at our Pop’s funeral in 2018.
We were impressed with all the steps that need to be taken to settle a RV in.
Andrew was excited to show me his skateboarding skills.
We made a quick trip to Costco and brought in a meal of Rotisserie Chicken, Mac n Cheese, Caesar salad and fresh baked bread. We had the meal together in the cabin that Dear and I rented in the same RV park.
Me and my brother. I’m #4 in our sibling order and my brother Leonard is #8. There’s a twelve year difference in our ages.
We all made it safely to Colville and the Reflection will be parked in our front acres for a few weeks before my brother’s family leaves for their journey south through Oregon and California.
While they are in Washington they will travel without the RV to a couple of our National Parks and of course get their obligatory family selfie photo in front of the Capital building in Olympia. They are trying to see as many National Parks as they can and they are also trying to make it to the capital of each state they visit. While on the West side of the Cascades they are staying with our sister Lana and her husband. Leonard and Lana are twins.
More to come from our time in Colville and the Western part of Washington.
I’m on the road again today so I won’t be participating in the Wednesday Hodgepodge.

Blessed time with family! It looks wonderful. Praise God.
…I can’t imagine pulling one of those!
You and me both!!
How lovely being able to spend time with your brother and his family. RV holidays are great fun. We had a couple of them in Canada when our boys were small. Probably our favourite holidays:) B x
So happy that you’re enjoying these special times with family!!
Sounds as if they have quite an ambitious plan. It is a common one for many of us…I am thankful that, in spite of my never being able to accomplish it, I may see some of it via your blog. I like the name of that RV—Reflection.
Love,
Vee
