Spokane Getaway

We joined Ron a second year in a row in Spokane for his WSAA conference.  We just like having an excuse to stay in a hotel with a pool for free and eating out on someone else's tab.  Lia loves the pool, Ron loves the cable in the hotel room, and I love not having to do dishes for three days.  We enjoyed our little getaway and are now safely home and ready to focus on packing up this house and moving in a few weeks!  Yikes!

 
Ron and the kiddos crossing the Spokane River on our way to  the downtown park.

 
Of course, we had to visit the goat and feed him some trash when we first arrived at the Riverfront Park.


Logie is now become a pro at walking around with sneakers on.  He loved playing at the park each time we visited it.

Logan and Ron's turn!

 We wandered down to the river to visit the ducks and geese.
 

And to feed them.
 

 
Some ladies were nice enough to give us several pieces of bread to feed the foul.
 
 
We stopped at the mall for some ice cream.
 

 
And returned later on to eat at the kaiten-sushi restaurant where the food circles around the restaurant on a conveyer belt the entire time.  So much fun!
 
 
I had to take a picture of Lia in her "hideout" in the hotel room as this is where she spent quite a bit of time during the day.  Logan was not able to fall asleep for his morning or afternoon naps with Lia and I walking around room distracting him.  So, I would hang out in the bathroom while Lia went into the coat closet until he would fall asleep.  She absolutely loved this little place and enjoyed watching movies and eating lunch in there.  Thank heavens I have such a cooperative daughter at times who can be quiet during naptime! 

 
We visited the park several times and, of course, had to take a spin around the carousal!  Here is Lia ready to go!

Around they go!
 

 
We took our little mermaid to the pool many times for some fun in the water.  She honestly would spend all day in a pool if we let her. 

 
Swimming away!

 
Logan loved walking around the edge of the pool as much as he enjoyed swimming in it.

 
Lia showing off one of her many different jumps into the water!
