More Family Time and the Beautiful Spokane River

I have had multiple things to blog about in the last week so I am still playing catch up...as usual!

Last Saturday evening we decided to have some more family time with just us! We really should have kept working on our house as we are preparing to paint it, but it was so incredibly hot and we wanted to cool off. So we packed a picnic and headed to Plantsferry Park by the Spokane River. It was so beautiful and peaceful! There weren't very many others there so it was actually pretty quiet. After eating our picnic dinner (BLT's YUM!) we walked the short paved jont down to the river. Wow! Even more beautiful! It was almost dusk and again there was no-one down there so it was quiet and peaceful! A couple times there were some people that had floated down the river and were getting out at that location but they didn't stay long and it was just us again! :)












I got in the water too, but I don't post swimming suit shots of me...........at least until I lose at least 30 pounds!


After playing in the water and throwing/skipping rocks, we decided to head back up and let the kids play on the playground before it got completely dark.




The cool alligator on the playground! Kambria wanted a picture with her and daddy sitting on his nose :)



Eli's turn :)



It was such a nice place to go! We are actually going there again tomorrow to celebrate my Mom's birthday! Yeah! .......and then also to Silverwood on Saturday to celebrate it again! :)
