How many states can you go to in one day?

Our answer is 3: Montana, Idaho, then Washington!



We went to Spokane for a couple days over the Labor Day "holiday". We were able to play and shop! I love going to Olive Garden and the kids enjoy Chuck E. Cheese. We also made stops at Toys R Us and Cabela's before coming home.


Many discoveries were made this trip: We all liked swimming at the hotel, especially Ryker who we had a hard time getting to WAIT for Mom or Dad before jumping in the pool on his own. However, we enjoyed amazing the night desk clerk with the sheer vast number of children we had (being pregnant was an added bonus!). Zadyn was offered a modeling job from a strange man at breakfast. He was implying she was cute????...still not too sure about this one. It was brought to our attention at Chuck E. Cheese that our children are well behaved, for their age (no other explanation given). And we have come to the conclusion that short/cheap trips will NEVER again be "short" or "cheap". We also discovered the aptly named "Discovery Park" just down the road from our hotel. Here are a few pictures of the kids at the park:

Zadyn is a dragonfly....who knew?

This one's obvious....Ryker is a bear!

All the fam (minus me) in front of the waterfall.
