Richard Bastian

It has been quite a trip the last few weeks. After driving the family out to Utah for thanksgiving we found ourselves hurrying to get ready to drive up to Oregon where my Dad was to be for another couple of days. We drove through Klamath Falls to visit an old fraternity brother of my Dad. Oregon was experiencing a very heavy wind and rain storm keeping us inside for the whole visit. During our stay we found out that Christi's uncle Richard Bastian died. Our trip then took a turn to Idaho to attend the funeral services.

Grandpa reading stories with Calvin.


Ammon is so so so patient and tolerant with these two.


At the burial Calvin found his Grandpa's toombstone.

Oliver does his best to offer support.

The picture didn't turn out too good but I was able to stand in the middle of I80 for as long as I wanted. This was our trip home. We watched a car slide into a big rig and big rigs just spin there chained tires trying to go up the hill. It was quite a mess. Good thing we recently put new tires on the Suburban.

The picture of Calvin and Big beard is so precious. I am so glad that you got home safely, it sounds like it was a little interesting to say the least.
