We drove into Wenatchee to do a little shopping, then to Smallwood's Fruit Stand in Peshastin. This place has a lot of great prepared foods as well as in season fruit. We bought some canned preserves, pasta, pickles and mustard. At Smallwoods there are a lot of things for kids like a petting zoo and wagon rides around the property. Then back to the park for a relaxing day in the sun. Later in the evening quite a thunder storm rolled through. It lasted for a couple of hours. Our girls with their families drove by the park on their way to Alta Lake where we will meet up with  them Thursday.
Our new friends-
At this park we met Lyle and Helen from Kalowna, BC. They are a nice older couple that are retired and have been out on the road this time for about a month. Lyle used to live in a place called Holiday Resort in Kalowna which is where we are going later this month. In 1990 his wife passed away and he met Helen who lived across the street from him. After some time they married and he moved into her house selling his property. In Canada they have free health care but if you leave your home province for more than 40 days it will cost a lot of money for your care when you return. Lyle has a heart condition so they are careful to not violate this stipulation.
