Back to Bellingham we go.  All that riding and getting in and out is hard on Ben because he dislocated his knee last week.  He was pulling on a rope for Todd and the next thing he knew his leg below the knee went out 90 degrees to the right.  I want him to have it checked out and he wants to tough it out. 

The burn ban starts tomorrow so he has gathered a group to have the final bon fire of the season.  A redneck summer solstice party?

The girls are in LA with their youth group working at a homeless shelter for a week.  They have checked in every day and it sounds like they are having a good time.  Amanda has some online school to do when she gets back before she can begin her summer.

Ben and I have been checking out studio apartments in Bellingham for when he starts the Bellingham Tech Fisheries program in the fall.  He met with an advisor and the fisheries program director and visited the hatchery a couple times. He has several more apartments lined up to check out Friday. 

It's done.  Ben managed to get both of his diplomas even though he stopped running before he reached the finish line.  Since he keeps changing his major, we are still reseraching financial aid, college, living arrangements, etc.

Ben and I made a "quick trip" to Children's ER this morning after finding out that his potassium level was critical.  Our contact numbers were messed up at the docs office so the doctor had been leaving several messages a day at Todd's work since minutes after they left the appointment with him Friday afternoon.
