Coeur D'Alene trip

A few weeks ago we took a weekend trip to Coeur D'Alene lake to celebrate our second wedding anniversary. For those of you who do not know where Coeur D'Alene is, it is located half an hour east of Spokane in northern Idaho.

We had a great time getting away from work and spending the time together as a family. It seems like two years have gone so quickly, but also it is hard to remember a time when we weren't married.

Another strange thing was to see trees again. We live in the desert portion of Washington, so while we see trees, we don't see trees.

Here is some of the fun that we had.

Here is the view from the deck where we stayed. There isn't that much between us and the lake, only a cliff, a road, a jogging trail, and then you hit water. Our landlords have a house next to the lake, that is where we stayed. So anyone up in the WA/ID area can ask about it.

Emmy and Laura having fun. As you can tell Emmy didn't particularly want to wear the sunglasses, but they seem to taste good.

I think she started out with socks on. But there is very little in the world she dislikes more than having socks on her feet.

Our bundle of joy and mischief.

We eventually made it into town to look around. They have a nice downtown area (do you hear that Tri-Cities, they are much smaller and have a much nicer downtown than anything here). But this is much more of a local resort town then the Tri-Cities. If you ever visit you need to visit Figpickles toy store, it is amazing.

The city park is located on the lake. This is where you go for lake tours and some swimming.

Hmm, I'm not sure where my sunglasses went to.

Emmy and Mommy

Pretty much the last thing we did before leaving was to take a aerial tour of the lake. It was pretty fun, and pushes Emmy up to 15 flights in her lifetime.
