Immediately after the Prineville camping adventure we headed up to the Methow Valley, where B's folks live, at least part-time. The homestead used to be an apple orchard, back when B's grandparents owned it, and now that his father and stepmom are there it is a ranch with horses and cattle, called...wait for it...Hole In The Wall Ranch.

The first half of the week was quiet; we hung out enjoying the ranch and B gave us a tour of the notable spots surrounding the valley. We drove to Leavenworth (Auf Wiedersehen!) and saw cousin Tara, explored some of the scenic spots in the valley and spent the morning in Chelan, where Jess got her very first pedicure -- big moment.
Later in the week the whole fam damily showed up, Hole aunts/uncles and cousins with appropriate offspring. The kids went crazy riding on Stubby, the ranch's venerable go-cart, and ogling the horses. The adults drank a lot of beer, ate a lot and sat around visiting. Everyone was awed by the improvements made on the ranch over the past two years, it was glorious in all its irrigated glory.
