Spokane, Washington



We got to Spokane on Monday, and we just checked in to the hotel, and Alan went to his meetings.  We dropped him off, and than went back and went swimming... On Tuesday, we went to the Riverfront Park.  It was a lot of fun, They had water kids could run through, but it was not warm enough that day.  They rode the carousel and some other rides.  Sid wanted to ride a ride, but Ad and Brit did not fit the height requirement, and so she rode all by herself.  She was the only one on the ride, and it was a little dragon ride.  Around the first bend, we thought we saw tears... It scared her just a bit-she came out of it with smiles....
Spokane Falls were beautiful.  There is a pedestrian bridge you walk over, it made me a little nervous... walking over those roaring falls.  But it was breathtaking...We ate at the Mustard Seed- Super good!
 
 The Spokane Temple, is a micro temple.  It was beautiful.  When we got out of the car, and walking up to the temple, there was a different feeling there than there was anywhere else in the city.  I asked the kids if they felt a difference between yesterday and today.  There was such a feeling of peace, beauty and a feeling of security.  They had a stake center on the left side of the temple and then they had a park on the right hand side that was church owned.... with a picnic area and swings that kids could play on.
  Later that day we went to the Mobius Kids Museum downtown Spokane.  It was a lot of fun.  The kids had a blast here.  They had Plasma carts, art, bubbles, how electricity works, backhoe operating, a mini playground for kids, a stage, dress-up... Brit is sitting in a Tiki Hut, right next to the hut, it was a little hut you could trade your goods in (all make believe) ... We ate at the Onion a couple of blocks away, it was really good also, They had giant onion rings the size of a donut.... Kids loved those. Another fun day.  
Addy at the kids museum!
