After a great vacation visiting family and friends, we're somewhat settled and I can finally get some of these photos up. We went to Spokane to stay with Grandpa Rich and we went to the Mobius childrens museum. It had great educational, interactive exhibits including a model home and store in the South Pacific, traffic and fire safety with ridable little cars, art, sand, aquifer/water, space, insects, theater and so much more.



Both of the boys have been really into insects lately. Although they aren't really insects, Nolan has also bee really into spiders. He can tell me most of the differences between arachnids and insects and we put up a spider web frame outside and are waiting for a spider to make a home there.


In Spokane we also went on the Gondola over the river (very short ride), the carousel and Riverfront park with the giant Radio Flyer slide. I'll get some more pictures of this up but these are from our new digital camcorder. I haven't loaded up the camera photos yet.


We went up to the mountain and to the inner tube hill at Mt. Spokane. They pulled us up the hill with a motorized pulley so it was worth paying for especially since the boys don't walk very good in there boots. (neither does mom!)


The boys had a great time on the four wheelers with Grandpa. Nolan especially liked the evening rides through the scary woods!


Nolan did an amazing job snowboarding. Mom and dad got to go alone a couple of days too, but we took Nolan up to Bridger Bowl in Bozeman Montana one morning and he was a real trooper. He'll do anything for hot cocoa!
