Okay...so here's the rest of my post from last weekend in La Grande. We had lots of extra time since our visit was a surprise and the show didn't start until 8p. So on our way we stopped at the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center, because neither of us had been there. It's pretty amazing to think of what these people went through...let me just say...there is definitely a reason I was born into this generation...I would have made a terrible pioneer!!
There was an old sofa in one of the rooms, set up in front of one of the many videos that continuously play...we didn't stop and watch any of the videos, but I had to try out the sofa....in case you're wondering...it wasn't very comfortable!!
There were some great quotes all over the place, hanging from the ceiling, and all over the walls. This quote would have come right out of my journal had I been on the trail!!
Outside you can walk out to the original Oregon Trail and walk in the wagon ruts. Anyone who knows us, knows we did not participate!! They've got 4.2 miles of trail, that's about 4 miles too much for me, my days of being in shape are long gone!!
When we got to La Grande we stopped by the Wheelers house. Denise and Kenn were the only ones who knew we were coming, so we were hoping Jillian wouldn't be home. After we got there, Denise had to go down to the school to get ready for the show, and Jill came home. I saw her van drive up as I was headed out the door to get some of our stuff from the car. I shut the door and ran to the back of the house. Justin and I hid, holding our breath until Jillian left. Apparently if someone were parked in their driveway, robbing their house, she would just yell "Hello" and when no one responds, just go about her business.

Because Jenn and Jessica are leaving at the end of the school year, they were training Kenn in the Ticket Booth.
When we Denise called to confirm if we were coming I suggested she tell the girls that she wanted to make them breakfast Saturday morning so that they wouldn't make any plans and would be available to visit. Jenn didn't listen and didn't get a sub for the class she was teaching, I guess she's listen to her mother next time she tells her to get a sub!!
We had so much fun visiting and wish we could have stayed longer. Now that all of the girls are leaving, we're going to have to coordinate our visits!!
