Vacation Time - Kennewick, Washington 2

Kennewick, Washington is part of the Tri-Cities area.  The other two cities are Pasco and Richmond.  There are several stakes of Zion within those three cities.  
This is the Columbia River Temple.  This beautiful building was near the hotel where Brent & I stayed.

 On Tuesday morning we went up on the windmill hill to get a view of the city.  We were amazed by the acres and acres of wheat growing.
 From a distance, the windmills do not seem to be that big.
 We ignored the sign that said No Trespassing due to potential falling objects to get a closer look.  In this picture, Brent is nearing the base of the windmill and looks very small.
 The view of the Tri-Cities.


This is the view of the Columbia River from a city park.  Its a beautiful place:  green trees, green grass and a great view of the flowing river.

The river was running high while we were there.  The water was covering part of the grass in the park. 

 Nathan, Ephraim, myself & Max just sitting on the grass watching the river.  Very relaxing :)

I am so glad we drove to Kennewick.  We loved visiting Aunt Randee, Uncle Brent, Nathan, Nina, Jana, Steven, Benny & Ephraim.  I am anxious to go back for another visit!
