We had a delightful dinner last night with our grand-niece and grand-nephew Brandy and Justin Downey and Brandy's fiance Derek Porritt.  Took us a while to find their house.  The neighborhood has few street signs, the streets don't run in a nice grid, and Brandy said even the pizza delivery guys have trouble.  But we got there.

Iguanaville

In addition to the two dogs, Buddy the golden retriever and Marley (don't know her breed), they have two exotic lizards.  Derek built this impressive multi-level home for their two iguanas.  One was up for the photo op, the other decided to hide in a corner.

Getting to see them all was a real pleasure, as we haven't seen them for a couple of years.  We will see them again at Brandy and Derek's wedding in August, as we are staying in the Pacific Northwest to be able to attend.  

We will hang out here in Kelso until Tuesday next week and then head north again for Gig Harbor.
