Spokane Part 2

While we were in Spokane the kids and I went with Grammy to Riverfront Park. We spent most of the day there riding rides, playing in the water fountain, watching the water falls, riding the train, feeding the ducks, eating lunch and riding the carousel. Needless to say the kids were quite wiped out by the end of the day. Gavin had a blast riding all the rides, I wasn't sure how he would like them, but he was not afraid at all, and just jumped right on anything he could.

The pictures are of course in reverse order of our day at the park, but we start with a picture of Gavin and I riding the Berry'go'round. Mommy started to get quite dizzy, but it didn't seem to phase Gav one bit.
I think that one of Gav's favorite things of the day were the airplanes. He rode the planes twice.

This time he rode with another boy who was a little older so he knew how to pull the lever back to make the plane go up and down. So he had a much better ride this time around.

We also rode the carousel twice. The second time I rode with Gavin and Grammy rode with Audra.

After we ate our lunch Gavin fed the ducks. It was quite funny, but he would throw the bread and then show his muscles and do a little happy dance. This is his happy dance.

This is showing off his muscles.

And the throw.

The kids also ran and played int he water.

The spray was quite powerful, so Audra was not so into it, but it didn't scare Gavin away, he still ran and played.

Love this face.

The first time riding the carousel. They both loved it and didn't want to get off.

All strapped in and ready to go.

Audra is set and ready for her first ride on a carousel.



The many faces of Little Missy.





We also took a tour of the park on the train. Audra enjoying the sights.

Gain enjoying the relaxing ride. However it wore off quickly and he wanted off the train. The idea of the train was much more exciting than actually being on it.

Ready for the train ride.

Gavin's first ride on the Ferris Wheel. It also did not phase him one bit.

Not quite sure at this point what was about to happen, but he loved it.

Audra watching on longingly for the day when she is big enough to ride the rides.

The first time on the airplanes.

The beautiful Spokane River.

Gavin loved watching the water falls.









And then we have some more pictures from our time spent outside at Grammy & Pop's house. Gotta love Audra's crazy hair or lack there of.

Gavin playing lots of baseball. Love the face of concentration.

This picture cracks me up. I think he lost sight of the ball, maybe we should be working on that.

Batter up.

More sliding.









Pops pitching the ball to Gavin.

It was a fun day at the park, so fun that Grammy took Gavin and Audra back while Mommy & Daddy were gone, to do it all over again, and they loved it all just the same.
