Spokane

Bryan had a little time in between jobs so we decided to make the most of it.  We drove to Spokane to see our dear friends the Gaileys.  It was a much needed getaway and we had the best time.  So thankful that I have been blessed with such incredible friends.  

Dave and Kristi had signed up for the dirty dash while we were going to be there so we decided to join them.  Best. Decision. Ever.  It was hilarious and so much fun.  I think we laughed through the entire race.  I thought that it was going to be physically insane but you had to wait in line for most of the obstacles so it was pretty doable.  

This is our before picture where we were very clean.

 Not so clean by the end.  I couldn't believe how dirty we got.  So much fun.

 We also headed up to Coeur D'Alene and went to the lake there.  It was so beautiful.

 We swam and played on the beach for a long time.

 My girls call these boys their "cousins but not their cousins."  Makes perfect sense.

 The whole crew minus the women who are always taking pictures.

 We also hit a splash pad that was incredible after the lake.   You can imagine that children slept well after this day.

 All the cute kids.  They had so much fun together.

 On Sunday we went to church and then to this beautiful park by their house.  They rode bikes for a really long time.

 They have the prettiest parks in Spokane and pine trees are everywhere.  I had never been to Washington.  It is a beautiful place.

 The park was huge and we found a rose garden in the midst of it.  A rose garden calls for some awesome posing.

Thanks again Gaileys for such a wonderful time!  Kristi is the best hostess and even cut and colored my hair there.  She has ruined me for going to anyone else!  Love you guys and hope to visit again soon!
