| One of many happy hiking spots along the Columbia River in MT where Lewis and Clark traveled. |
 |
| Glacier National Park has ONE large vehicle turn around on Going to the Sun Highway. And we....missed it?! Saturday afternoon amidst thousands of tourists and hikers is just not the time to do an 89 point turn. But OH. WOW. We had the privilege. Twice. :) Note Carver stopping traffic. Charlie got the cars going the other way. |
 |
| Our new family photo? River behind us, cars backed up both ways (let's just say this was not quick!) and one large bus with seriously sweating parents stuck across the only route through Glacier National Park. God kindly provided two guys who waited FOREVER, pulled the trailer back down the mountain (and yes, that's a fabulous rushing river behind us) and met us at a parking lot where we were promptly yelled at by some hikers who felt we were in the way. Ha! Good thing they hadn't been on the ROAD! :) Our highly educational homeschooling hike was rescheduled for another PLANET, but OH! The Lord was MERCIFUL throughout! We even got a refund since we had leave for a meeting. :) |
 |
| And this was where we started that day. Ya just never know. :) |
 |
| Final moment of an exercise video created for friends in TN. As some would say... it was epic? Ha! |
 |
| We like to call it "Pumping Iron." |
 |
| Breakfast....compliments of Charlie and Butter and a fire at our campsite. |
 |
| Christian brushed up photography skills on these lovely flowers! |
 |
| Bible Bee Study continues! Note the classy vase. :) |
 |
| Campfire after a long family walk! One of our favorite things. |
 |
| Crosby's Good-Morning Hair! |
 |
| Meeting sweet likeminded families is one of the highlights of this travel adventure! |
 |
| Frank & Butter keep things exciting in their corner of the world. |
 |
| Coos Bay:one of many incredible locations Daddy found to return phone calls & do an interview! If folks on the other end only knew. :) |
 |
| Between events 6 nights in a row all over OR we made it to the beach and have now officially been from Sea to Shining Sea! |
 |
| Carolina and Charlie ventured into a Russian Market and came back with little yummy things including this "Liubitelskaya." Very crunchy stuff. :) Lina is Chap's Bible Bee buddy, so these came in handy as bribes. Excuse me... REWARDS!! |
 |
| Love folks who summarize so well! |
 |
| Campbell set up his own little booth to sell AGENDA business cards! Loved it, especially when he said: "They're actually free, but you can still donate." Ever encouraging entrepreneurship where we can! :) |
 |
| On to our stretch through WA state. Love driving in the evening. So beautiful and peaceful. |
 |
| Wonderful friends and Strawberry Angel Fluffy Pie. Or it was called something ethereal and light like that. :) |
 |
| SOOO wonderful to be in a real kitchen! Lina worked wonders in the Gluten-free waffle department. |
 |
| Why we pray for our children!! This was up the tree they were climbing! |
 |
| Charlie patching up our friend Isaac who got kicked in the chin by a bull. Up close pictures shall be withheld, but Charlie did a great job! |
 |
| Crosby all geared up for a quick trip to the river. Trying to prevent sun damage and keep her afloat all at once! |
 |
| Happy picnic! |
 |
| Quick jump into the water at Whidbey Island! |
 |
| Donuts on the Columbia River. |
 |
| Yes, we gals did love the inner tube as well (but are not about to put pictures of THAT on here!) |
 |
| Looks like a Norman Rockwell. WAY too cute! |
 |
| Lina and Anna. Happy, Happy, Happy! |
 |
| Singing in Arlington, WA. Our very farthest West event! |
 |
| Did two very fun events with our friends who just released "The Defense of New Haven." Children's showing of their film in one room.....parents and AGENDA 2 in the other. Can you possibly guess which movie the Bowers watched?! Twice in one week! |
 |
| Q&A with some of the Steege Crew! |
 |
| Campbell borrowed the famous hat from the Defense of New Haven booth. |
 |
| Large quantities of filmmaking stories swapped! |
 |
| Experimenting with different mustaches for future reference! |
 |
| Charlies is a wonderful salesman and regularly reminds the Bowers gals that things must be SOLD...not just given away because we think it's more fun that way! |
 |
| Finishing of a great week in WA with a late night round of fries and burgers in the bus. Truly grateful for people that love and help us in so many ways. On to Idaho.... |

Oh you guys. The bus adventures. Turning around. People waiting in line.
I'm just wondering if the Bowers ladies are like our ladies? We moan "NOT RELATED" and fly to the back of the bus to hide until the crisis is passed. =) Well, maybe not quite that extreme.
And Butter's little booth!! WAY too cute! Love it!
Also. The Bontragers want to see this workout video too. It sounds...EPIC! =)
