Part Two- Spokane/Lake Coeur d'Alene

Leaving Twin Lakes we took a baby ferry over Lake Roosevelt.

We were one of five cars, although I think it can hold ten.


Abi and Ben are pretty good car riders I will say, only a few melt downs by Ben. When all else fails give them a dum dum sucker, it shuts them up long enough to forget what they were grouchy about. Either that or Ben will see a big truck and get so excited he will forget what he was crying about.



Pretty view of Lake Roosevelt out the car window.

We stayed with our friend's Jon and Nicole in Spokane. We got two baby sitters to watch all our (5) kids and hit the town for dinner and trivia night at the bar. It turned out our team was one of three finalists to win outdoor chairs and an umbrella. So we sent Jon as our representative, he thought it would be a singing competition so he was practicing the star spangled banner. It was a dance competition but he didn't disappoint. 

He did the robot, worm, danced on a chair, took his shirt off. I laughed so hard my sides hurt, he won by a landslide, not even a competition really.

Slightly embarrassed by the crowd loving his dancing skills.

Prize!

At this point it was 1am and we are old and tired (and it was a Tues night) so we took our prize and left.


On the street a bum asked Jon where he got his umbrella and Jon told him he won it in a dance competition and the bum said "right on, man!".


 
 
The next day we pulled ourselves out of bed to head to Lake Coeur d'Alene for the day.


Beautiful view of the lake from Nicole's parents deck.



Love this picture!




Last nights prize getting some use on the dock.
 

These girls (Abi and Hilie) melt my heart. They would hug each other and say they are best friends forever.


Another day of fun in the sun. This time in Idaho with a swim dock and diving board. Vacation is not over yet.......
