Sunny Day

We went to Coeur d'Alene a few weeks ago. Carson rode his bike there (it's around 40 miles away) and I met him there after class. We met in front of Lake Coeur d'Alene. It was a beautiful day, one of the first warm ones we had and there were so many people there enjoying the beach and the park. We enjoyed the little town, and then went to an early dinner at Tomato Street. 

I really only took this picture for the picture of the babies behind him. Creeeeeepy!

saturday adventures

This Saturday wasn't a really lazy one. We biked awhile... (12.5 miles total according to Google Pedometer)

Passing a not-too-shabby waterfall (you can tell when I've just said "SMILE!" can't you?)

And on our route back, we found a pretty hidden little place with a stream and several waterfalls. Up here by these little pools it was actually warm enough to swim. For Carson to swim, that is. I sat down in the water but it didn't get further up than the bottom of my tank top. Coooold!

Yay helmets!

Later in the day, we drove up to Raven's Roost, where there are a bunch of cell phone/ radio towers and incredible views - here's Mount Rainier

And here's us with Rainier - it didn't work out so well, but those peaks are back there, I promise!

And since we hadn't had enough adventure, Carson climbed up and into one of the buildings. I obviously wasn't tall enough to make it up there but I helped by giving him a boost.

And then he threw some snowballs at me... it's strange to be in flip flops and jeans in the snow - stranger to be in shorts, tank top and chacos in the snow. (Thank goodness for the jacket Carson had stashed in the back of the car for me)
