Manito park and splash pad

Let's race

Lizzy and Noey running around the splash pad...not in it mind you. Liz seemed utterly insulted when she accidently got sprayed with a jet.

Ready, set, whoa!

Today Noelle was working hard to steal her sisters daredevil title. Yes, her swimming suit is backwards....she put it on herself and after I made an attempt to correct it and almost detonated a neuclear 2 year old explosion I decided that backwards was okay for the time being.

Our clueless conversation

Jed: "Do you know where such and such is?

Melissa: "I have no clue"

Lizzy: "Where'd the clue go mommy? Where's the clue"

Noey: "We can't find it"

Lizzy: "Yeah, the clue is all gone"

our default weekend destination

LIBERTY LAKE
Sure, we've been there and done that before but
we love it and keep coming back for more.
I love how it was in the upper 80's today but with the shade of the giant pines and huge cedars and the nice breeze, it was still a really comfortable 7.5 mile hike.

Our little hikers walking together. They had to stop along the way and clear the trail of the thousands of pine cones along the way.

Swimming in the lake after the hike. The water was really warm. The girls really wanted to catch the ducks there.

Indy got in the water at every chance he could. He would go and sit in the water and lap away his drink. This was taken with the broken camera and it was supposed to be shot of indy jumping out from under a bridge. Instead it looks like he is some possessed canine.
