Fun in the Sun

The 3 boys watching their Dad ride the wave. Aren't they cute?
Go Dad!
All in all it was a really fun day at the water park. Jake, Nanda, and the girls were able to come with us. The kids really enjoyed playing in the water and doing the "river float." The weather was good and we got to spend another day with Dad...what's not to like? We are getting some fun days in before school starts in less than 2 weeks!

We did it! We helped Mudgy find Milly :)

The expanation of this is in the previous posting. We really had a fun trip. Bob was supposed to have a softball tournament, but he canceled it because several people couldn't make it. So we decided to have a family weekend. Thank you Goodlanders for offering your home to us! It was really nice to get away and have Bob's undivided attention. The boys really liked having him around. We spent a little time at triple play playing arcade games. Next time we go up we will have to spend the day there. It is a really fun Family Center. We watched some movies and ate at some fun restaraunts. We also were able to see the Leisy's for a couple of hours! On the way home we drove around Bob's old neighborhood in Spokane and spent some time out by the river throwing rocks and walking along the trail. Good times.

Mudgy & Milly

For Christmas we received a book "Mudgy & Milly" from our good friends, the Goodlanders. In the book the two friends (a moose and a mouse) are playing hide and go seek. In Coeur D' Alene, Idaho they have the trail from the book with sculptures of Mudgy looking for Milly at different places around town, when the whole time she is hiding in his antlers. It is a really cute book. Phil's brother is the sculptor. So we did the trail from the Marina, to the library, to downtown, to the city park, and to Independence Point by the boardwalk. The boys really enjoyed following the map and finding all of the sculptures. The floating boardwalk was really fun to walk along.
