Trip to Pullman/Spokane

These 2 posts (Pullman/Easter) are out of order, oops!


Look how tiny the kids look next to the huge library!

Future Cougar?

So tired...:)

At Sunnyside park

Visiting friends in Spokane!

Last weekend we took a trip over to Pullman/Spokane. It was a BLAST! We had decent weather, meaning it didn't rain. It was NOT warm, though, & it was WINDY! Good ol' Pullman...I can't believe that I hadn't been there in 10 years!! We stayed with the Barries, who I used to babysit for (their oldest daughter just got married!), & it was so fun to catch up!!! If you are looking for an AMAZING photographer, check out Scott's website: www.creativeimageportraits.com He is SO creative.

Sat. we got up & went to campus to check out the new CUB & Bookie! We walked around a little bit, but it was pretty cold for the kids. So then we went to lunch at Sella's - oh yeah!:) After lunch we drove around a little bit (Erik wanted to see the new golf course), & tried to go to Ferdinand's, which is CLOSED on weekends! Boo. We drove to find another ice cream place, but the kids ended up falling asleep.:) So we went to the park, & when they woke up we went to see the animals. Then it was off to dinner at the Spangenberg's, another family I used to babysit for. It was great catching up with them, & seeing 3 of their 4 kids!! Love this family.:)

Then, home to bed...a 30 min. nap kept the 2 oldest up until 11:00 p.m. (ugh), & Kaarin woke up twice crying, so she ended up in bed with us since her room was right below Scott & Laurie's. She actually slept fine once she was with us...we were up early the next morning to go to church, pack up our stuff, & head to Spokane!! Most of my friends from WSU are gone from Pullman, obviously, but many have settled in Spokane! We had a great lunch & visit with them, though it was way too short!!!! Definitely already planning the next trip back!!:)

On our way back through Ellensburg, we stopped to have dinner with Erik's cousin & family. That was fun for us, & for the kids -- a much better way to stretch their legs than at McD's with a play area outside...but also easy to lose track of time, so next thing you know, we arrived home at 1:00 a.m.!:) The kids had fallen asleep in the car, & transferred to their beds just fine, so they were o.k. the next day.:) We have all recovered now. Can't wait to go back!!
