Last weekend we packed up the dog and headed to Scottsbluff, Nebraska for a fun family party in honor of the new college graduate, Lydia. Chris' grandparents live there are were gracious to open their home to the whole Benger family to celebrate. There were about 20 of us, most of the family from Colorado and Nebraska. We ate a lot, played a lot, and just had a nice day with the family.
We stayed the night in a nearby hotel, and early on Sunday morning, Chris and his dad headed off in his dad's Honda to Seattle. Lydia is borrowing the car for the summer, so the transport team took care of the long two-day drive. Chris' mom and Lydia flew out on Monday and met the guys in Seattle. Lydia is slowly getting settled and now has an apartment in Bremerton, not far from Seattle. She begins her "big girl" job next week! I look forward to going to visit her once she is all settled in her new surroundings.

"The Activities"... aka Potato Guns
They may be loud, but they are really fun to shoot off!
Don't worry, they were shot into a large empty field...

Uber, you have something green in your teeth!
He was so beat, he didn't even notice the tennis ball hanging out of his mouth...

Lydia received a beautiful hand-sewn quilt from her grandmother.
It should keep her warm in the chilly Seattle weather...
