Loon Lake

An annual tradition. Loon Lake and then a pile of Zip's chicken strips and fries for dinner!

Happy 4th of July

I never knew Bailey and Freckles were so patriotic...

Cherry Picking

This is definitely one of the things we like to do every year we're in Spokane. Usually cherries are in season when we are there, but not every year. For example, last year the cherries came early and we picked strawberries. 

Green Bluff never disappoints. We picked a lot of cherries to eat, but also just enough pie cherries to make a delicious cherry pie!

Manito and Mirabeau

Just a couple of fun pictures from a few of our walks around these parks....

Spokane Ridin'

This year we decided to fly to Spokane, since we only had about 10 days available in between cheer and soccer practice. I had asked Winston about renting a bike, but a few people volunteered to lend me one of their own bikes instead.

The day after we landed in Spokane I picked up the bike from Ken Collins, and took it for a ride through town and the Gonzaga campus on the way back to our apartment. I had a few problems with the bike when I was using it, but it was still very much appreciated to be able to ride a bike again in Spokane.

I did a few other really fun rides, namely around Newman and Hauser lakes, as well as up and down Mount Spokane for the 6th straight year. I'm not sure how many more times we'll be going back to Spokane in the summer over the next several years, so it was great to be able to ride again while we were out there.
