Waaaaaay back in August the kids and I went up to Cda. It was our last opportunity before school started. We stayed about two weeks. Kyle was out of town working and we wanted to get in one last summer visit before school started. We spent most our time at the many local parks, beach and with all our awesome family. We are lucky enough that my parents and some of Kyle's family all live in the same area.
The kids enjoyed Silverwood (there's a post further down the page). The whole time we were up there they kept telling me, "Next time we bring Dad to Coeur d' Alene, we need to take him to Silverwood, he's gonna love it!" The beach was always a popular place for us. The kids love the cement steps, and the little fountain at Independence point, (not to mention the guy selling snocones right there) and the wooden park nearby. We had many lunches with Grandma at Funecan Park because it's so close to her work. The kids loved all the time they got to spend at Nani and Poppi's house. We had a sweet BBQ one night, Greg and Family came too! They loved going into the woods behind Nani and Poppi's house with Gabe and Sage hunting for deer. They also want me to tell you that Nani and Poppi have cool two wheel scooters! We even spent an evening at Greg and Julies for Gabe's birthday party. The kids and I managed to go to Hudson's only twice. The first time we sat at the bar, each had a burger, root beer and shared a slice of chocolate pie. By share, I mean I got 2 bites (1st and last) and CJ and Brian had fork wars over the rest of it. The other time we got it to go and enjoyed eating it on a bench in the sunshine with my Mom. Our two week adventure ended with a trip to the North Idaho Fair. We saw Motocross races, tons of smelly animals, rode some rides, had unbelievably good elephant ears, and of course got to check out Grandpa's motorcycle on display. We came home pooped. We were all ready to crawl into our own beds for a very good night's sleep.
BTW, I think this might be my longest and most time consuming post ever. See what happens when you procrastinate?!
