February Visitors

This month was exciting with a couple visits from family at separate times within a week of each other; man we are so lucky!!  Nana and Pop Pop decided to come visit for Presidents Day weekend.  So they got in the car, Rio included, and made the drive over.  We had a great time hanging out with them, watching movies, walking around in the park all bundled up for the cold weather.  We took them to Manito Park which in warmer weather is filled with colorful flowers and really pretty plants.  Since it's winter most everything looked like the arches in the picture.


We made sure that we got all of our 45 mins in to count for our 8 week healthy challenge.  We went to Costa Vida for some amazing burritos and salads for our lunch. Then Saturday night our ward had an auction for Scouts and we actually won a picture of the Spokane Temple in a silent auction...Hurray!!  Sunday we spent relaxing and ate an amazing meal of london broil, it was delicious.  We were sad to see them leave but will hopefully see them soon.

We also had Christopher's sister Brianne and her family over.  It was so fun to be able to see our nieces and take them around a few places here.  We spent one day walking on the frozen pond in Manito.  The girls thought it was pretty amazing that they were walking on water, even if it was frozen.


We also spent time walking through a rain snow mix at Riverfront Park.  They loved feeding the ducks, but had to go up the steps at one point to keep a safe distant.


They couldn't wait to go on the huge wagon that they said could even fit a car!


For the last stop we went to the temple and quickly walked around before we were completely soaked.  It was so fun to have the little girls here and play with them and spend more time with Brianne and Eric.  We had a blast and thank both families for putting up with staying in our small apartment.  Thanks for a superfantastic week!!

  1. Gotta love visitors and it looks like you guys are pretty good hosts. Who knows, perhaps someday we will make the trek out.

    And good job on your 45 min of exercise, you are pretty much putting us to shame.
