The Ellensburg tour
Once again Josie and I made our way to Ellensburg thursday night. Luke was able to drive from moses lake to Ellensburg so we could spend some time with him. Last week Ellensburg was hit pretty hard by the flooding and I-90 over snoqualmie was closed for almost 3 days. When I got there the water had receded a lot, but it was still flooding. Friday morning my dad, josie and I drove all over town to take a look at the destruction.

This is Carey Lake entrance. Unless you have lived in ellensburg or been there, you wouldn't know where this is...but this picture is for my friends who know where this is....pretty crazy.
After our tour, we got on the freeway to head back to the house. they had just announced that they were going to open the pass. We almost got stuck in truck traffic, just trying to get back. All the semi's were lined up and ready to get out of town. .JPG)
Just in case anyone were to have needed CPR, we made sure that Josie was able to perform it. Actually for some reason my mom had a practice doll at home and so josie was having fun practicing too:)
