Hey I know where we are

So, after a long trip across Central Washington, we were pulling into the Village. Ethan piped up that he knew where he was, but forgot what it was called. That led to him asking me: "I forget, what is this called?". I said: "the Village", and he said: "no, it starts with a G". And then Rileigh added that maybe it was Rathdrum, which led to an arguement of: no it's not, yes it is. It got fairly heated. Thanks to level headed parents, the arguement was stopped pronto. Stil,l this led to no resolution. All we could do was distract the two combatants with helping us unload the car.
This morning I discovered that the word starting with G, was Idaho. Yeah, so, there was a little education in that Idaho starts with an I. Ethan is now in the know. We only hope it sticks as well as Lightning McQueen's quest.
The trip across Washington was due to Sarah and I travelling to Little Rock AR to attend/participate in Dan's wedding. It would have been nice to bring the kids to Little Rock. Still, it was also nice to have a weekend with few responsibilities. And we could talk about how much easier the travel is without kids. So, the kids missed out on learning what AR can be like, and meeting their cousins. And they wanted to see Uncle Dan. I guess Preston is old hat now, as he was rarely mentioned by the pair, whereas "Uncle Dan" and the "new lady" (Ethan said "oh yeah Aunt Laura) were main topics of conversation. Though having said that, the two of them can't wait to see how big he is now. Time is still a mystery to them they just saw him....how much can he grow? -in their eyes, let me add. I think they expect him to be ready for a nice game of chase (they do not have a very extensive repertoir of games).
Intead they had a good time with their Aunties in Issaquah.
