downtown SpOkaNe

Back in 1974, Spokane hosted the world's exposition. If you have ever been to one of these, they are absolutely phenomenal. My family and I went to the one in Vancouver, British Columbia back in the 80s when I was a wee teenager. I still have memories of all the exhibits and such. Well, all of the sculptures and all that jazz in Spokane downtown riverfront are from that. Atleast that is what I think... Is that the biggest wagon you had ever seen? No, I didn't go down on it but Clay and the kids did. I think his butt got stuck halfway down. :)




 This is a metal trash eating goat. Husband and kids did not believe me but there is a button you push and then it sucks up the trash with its mouth. I cleaned out my whole purse of receipts.
 Vroom! vroom!
 The picture below is my favorite one of the whole trip. I feel like I am in Holland or something. It is just pretty.
So I overcame some of my fears and rode a glass tram over the river and falls and back again. I was pretty scared.
 We went on vacation with Eric, my bro, Erica, and Tyler. They are behind Clay's head. This what we saw below our cage of death.




 It's over! They loved it but I was freaking out at any little movement that was made from Brayden.
 After we went to the Old Flour Mill, we took the footbridge. We walked over two of them and took pictures of the falls below.
It was such a nice day. We ended it by eating pizza at some downtown place and then to the Spokane Valley Mall. If that mall had a carousel in the food court, it would have been exactly like the Superstition Springs mall. Shopping..hallelujah!!!!

Preschool Graduation

Last Wednesday was Brayden's preschool graduation. It was cute and each of the kids had parts. I was sad that Brayden did not speak up enough into the microphone. I was unable to post it because of that. So here is a cute little song that they sang.

We stayed at the Rode Inn. People in RV take pride in that John Wayne lived out at the 26 Bar Ranch. In the lobby here is picture of him in the 4th of the July parade riding a horse. We thought it was cool. While I was out having dinner with my high school buddies, Clay took the kids around RV and took pictures of them. This is the the Madonna of the Trail. It is a memorial to pioneer mothers. I just can't imagine crossing the plains even with my two kids. It is hard enough taking them to Walmart and anywhere else. After the dinner for the reunion, we went and watched fireworks. I thought they would be lame like ours as they used to be. I was quite impressed. Yup, we are heading home. Well atleast to the airport in Albuquerque. It was about 3 and half hours from RV. This is a natural arch monument. We liked the drive. We especially like driving real slow and watching the prairie dogs. This was a casino and gas station outside of Albuquerque.
