Saturday, July 9: Carole and Samara, driving through on their way from West Palm Beach, Florida to Seattle, Washington, stopped to spend the night.
Sunday, July 10: Carole and Samara were not in a terrible rush, so without much prodding, we convinced them to stay another night so Samara could go to Silverwood. Mari came along.
Now, Mari is a friendly, cheerful girl, and she includes everyone around her in her enjoyment of life. So when Mari and Samara went on Roundup, and actually spoke to the shy, young man next to them, he lit up like the sunrise. He apparently mistook her friendliness as interest, and more or less followed us around the park for most of the day. Samara, a little more wise to the ways of the world, so to speak, was fairly rude to him.
Monday, July 11: Carole and Samara took off early... Lance and Karleen (and Faith, Sally, Molly, Ben, Hannah, Ole, Grace) and Alison and David, stayed up late redesigning Karleen's house
