Riverfront Park

Thursday, we drove to my sister, Margie's, house.
Actually, we met her at a water park in Spokane, and the kids had fun swimming with their cousins.
We planned to go visit another sister, Connie, and my Grandma P. the next day.
But, Connie's daughter had a fever, so we will see them next time we go that direction.

So, we went shopping on Friday, in Spokane.
All the shopping (for family pictures on Saturday and our Florida trip coming up) wore me out.
We went to McDonald's to get a little energy back.
Not the best of nutrition, but it worked for my needs.



Anthony eying Maggie's McNuggets.


After shopping, we went to Riverfront Park in downtown Spokane.

This fountain was created in 2005 and was AWESOME!

It had the water on a timer, and it would go through the middle, sides, top, or all at different times.

We bought some mini doughnuts for a snack.

They were actually not too spendy ($6 for two baker's dozen). And, I think we got more than 2 baker's dozen.

I didn't realize that he makes them when you order!

The cinnamon sugar mixture bag.

Our other bag was powdered sugar.

Next, we went on the SkyRide.

We had to be in two gondolas.













Anthony being his cute little self.



Kelly, Andy, and Maggie ran through the middle of the fountain.







The amazing portable potties...they were so luxurious and clean for public bathrooms!

We rode the carousel.



Andy and me.

I laughed like a school girl when it was going around.

I named my horse Mystical, Misty for short. :)

Not the most flattering picture, but it was fun.



Kelly fed the goat garbage.

Leaving Spokane, I saw these smokestacks and thought of a sweater design. (kinda like when we saw the horsetail plants in Leavenworth)

Maggie had a sore on her nose, so she put a bandaid on it that night.

We thought it was cute.
