Four generations!

More than a month ago now, the Thompsons three travelled across the state of Washington to go visit Justin's family in Vancouver. His parents came down to the 'Couv for the weekend and invited aunts, uncles, cousins and the like to come visit for the day. Here are a few (ok, a lot) pics of our days in Vancouver:

 Rolin with Great Grandma Grace Brink.

 Who knows what's going on here, but it makes me laugh. 

Great Aunt Lyn Brink and cousin Melissa's son Gage. 

 Introducing Rolin to Great Grandma Paula Thompson. She's 96! Grandpa Thompson stayed at home during this trip. He sadly passed away a few weeks later at the amazing age of 100!

Four generations of Thompsons! Justin, Rolin, Paula and Lee.

Cousin Megan Thompson and Rolly.

Cousin Molly Thompson and R-man.

"This used to be my playground..." Grandma Karen gives Rolin a tour of her childhood home.

Grandpa Lee, Justin, Grandma Karen and Rolin.

Four-generation shot with a bonus Christine. 

Grandma Grace and Grandma Karen were so excited to be in the pic, they couldn't keep their eyes open.

Justin was so excited about being part of a four-generation pic, he couldn't keep his eyes open! (And I wondered where he got it...)

After a few days in Vancouver we went to Grandview before heading back to Spokane.

Gigi got home from work in time to play in the yard while the sun was still up!

Then we went to see 92-year-old Great Nanny Evans in Prosser.

Beautiful hands, old and young.

Pretending to whip our hair back like models gave us the giggles.

This pic cracks me up. Just look at his face! (Click image for a larger view.) It's like he's trying to say, "Gigi, the most terrifying thing I've ever seen is right behind you!!!!" Ha!


Rolin did great in the car despite a few breakdowns, but overall, our first car trip went really well and it was great to see everyone!

Oh, Chris, what great pictures. Of course I'm a little partial to the ones of people I actually know...especially Nanny & Rolin's hands. But how wonderful to have pictures with all those generations on both sides.
