Coeur d'Alene

This last week we went to Coeur d'Alene for Weston's CPE classes. We had a blast. It is good that he has a job that gives us an excuse to get out of town once in awhile otherwise we never would!!. Coeur d'Alene was gorgeous, this was the first time I had been there and I couldn't believe how pretty it was. Wes's classes were from 8-3 everyday and so I would hang out with the kids. We did a little shopping in Spokane one afternoon and found ourselves in the hotel pool much more than I would have liked.
This is Kip and Jen Klingler, Weston works with Jen and so they went to the classes together and Kip and I supervised the kiddies.
The first night that we were there we went down to the lake and the kids helped themselves to the water (unplanned by us) Hence how amazing they look!! We went on a sunset dinner cruise around the lake. The food was to die for and the kids loved it! This is Kallie and Kennedy. They hit it off right away and were inseperable all week.
This was some of our entertainment throughout the days. The girls unhooked all the phones in our rooms and pretended that they were talking to Hannah Montana, it was hilarious. Check out Cole on the left. He really wanted to play with the girls but couldn't quite keep up.

This was possibly the best part of the trip. We went to a place called Triple Play. There was basically everything there; bowling, mini golf, kids play land, bumper boats, go karts and an indoor water park that was awesome!! Big slides, wave pools, you name it!!! Rexburg needs one of these!! Anyway we got to Triple play not planning on swimming but when we got there it looked so fun we just couldn't resist. Jen and I went back to the hotel to get our swim gear and left the men with the kids. We get back not twenty minutes later and the kids had all these plastic dinosaurs. Weston and Kip had found a game they were "totally skilled" at and had spent all the kid's tokens playing it. They were having a bawl!!! When we left the Triple Play that night Wes said "hey we should go back tomorrow and get some more dinosaurs for the kids!!" Yeah right for the kids!!

Hey, I'll have you know....I've switched to a lower sodium salt mixture. I don't know what the heck is in it, but it tastes salty, and I like it!
