A Day in Town

Here is how the day started - quiet time for the grown ups as the kids were engrossed iheir video games for an hour or two!

Here is my little puppy dog with floppy ears!!!

Unwelcomed kisses...

Park time in Coure d Alene...

Lauren and Sophia

A view of the park

Zack and Dani have really hit it off quite well!

Down by the river...

Could this be why the kids keep saying they want a home here???? Moscow - in Idaho!!!

Just over yonder is Lake Coure d Alene. The building is the library.

Here Zack enjoys a cartwheel as we walk down to the lake.

The trees are amazing here. I love all of the colors.

Here are the ninjas in front of the resort which is about 2 blocks from June's house!

And, here's the boy up in a tree on the lake.


And, the beautiful girl up in the tree!!!

Shades of color that only God could provide so graciously!

Here is a site that looks like Martha's Vineyard, but it's Coure d Alene.

I just love this house right across from the park!


The lake is huge!

Dani chatting with Zack as she reaches in to tickle him. You can't see his face, but he has his grin on along with his eyes rolled back!!!!

The kids decided they needed a break as we walked home from the lake - Lauren (12), Dani (4), Zack (6), Sophia (4), and Kyndell not pictured (8).

Here are the two little chatty patties! They are one month and one day apart, and their personalities could not be any more similar!!!! Surprisingly, they get along smashingly well!

The walk from June's house to the lake...

Grandma June's house... It is very very charming and makes you feel like you're home no matter where you've come from... BTW- anyone who wants to visit Coure d Alene is welcome to contact her!!! She makes a mean artichoke dip and will tease you by making brownies at 9:00PM and not allowing you to eat them until morning!!! I'm not sure why I dreamed of chocolate!
We ended the day with dinner on the back deck. The kids enjoyed hot dogs, mac and cheese, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, and chips.
And, for dessert, fresh strawberries (because the brownies were off limits)!

Zack giving Dani a horse ride. She didn't have to beg him either!

Then he collapsed in giggles shortly after which the girls went home and Zack and Sophia fell asleep in 5 seconds flat!
