Eli comes to town!!!

Jake has been trying to get his brother Eli to come up and visit us for a while. He was able to get some time off and come in April. They had a great time visiting and doing all the brother things. Here are a few pictures of some of the high lights of there time together. On our spring break get-a-way, we found a man who charters seaplane rides. These planes are very common in the Northwest. For those of you who have never seen or heard of them they are planes that can take off from and land on the water. Anyway, Jake, Eli and my Dad chartered a 20 minute flight. They loved it. After they were done my Mom and I met the boys at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Azteca. If you ever come to visit us in Spokane, we will have to take you to Azteca.
This is the view of the resort on the lake.
Eli wanted to see some snow so Jake took him on this hike around and above Liberty Lake. Jake has been on this hike before and he said that there was so much snow that you could not even find the path. The had a great time finding animal tracks and droppings. :(
These are the falls here is Spokane. The Spokane River flows right through the middle of the city. We have a park downtown called Riverfront Park and there are many bridges and walking paths that cross over the river and there you can see the falls. With the melt off of snow from the mountains, this is the best time of the year to see the falls because they are big and fast. Jake took Eli there to see them and he really enjoyed it.
Thanks again for stopping by and checking in with us. Have a great day!!!!

Your time is getting short! I bet your folks are really beside themselves with a second grandbaby on the way. They will be caught up with me if you and Christa keep this up! HA! Nothing like grandbabies, and spoiling them! I enjoyed the pictures of the Falls. I always loved going down there, and like you said, especially at this time of year. Take care.

Hi Amy! I really like the picture of you and Jake and I can't wait until there's an updated picture with Lindsey in it, too!

Amy - Congratulations!!! Looks like your precious little one will be here soon. We are hoping to visit Spokane either in July on our survey trip or next summer after we move back to MT. Either way I guess we'll get to see your bundle of joy! Keep in touch!
