Once again we got a slow start. We wanted to go over to the space needle, even though Tim didn't. I think Tim is learning that when he doesn't want to do something it only makes us want to do it more. Once we got to the top all the kids thought the views and the activities at the top were great. Sariah enjoyed the music at the bottom and was convinced that she was at Disneyland. We decided to let the kids run around a little and get their energy out.
After the space needle we set out in search of the Seattle temple. We were able to locate it just outside of Seattle. It was very pretty and we liked all the statues they had outside of the temple. We enjoyed walking around the entire building before heading out to get lunch in a nearby area. Everybody enjoyed Tim's pick for lunch and enjoyed yummy tacos.
We headed towards our destination of Spokane. We were shocked by all the massive wild fires. We followed them for over 200 miles. We found a cute little fruit store and got some yummy nectarines. We were able to make it to Spokane in good time. We had enough time to go to the park in Spokane that I had read about. The kids enjoyed sliding down the giant Radio Flyer wagon, riding on the hand carved carousel and taking a ride down to see the Spokane falls. They were especially excited to see a hotel that had a pool. So of course they went swimming and enjoyed doing helicopters with their dad in the water. We had a very fun day!!
