On the way over, we of course stopped in Vantage to view the horses on the hill and the beautiful view offered by the Columbia River. It was very windy (as my sister can attest to~her dress flew up almost over her head!) but it was so hot, the wind was a blessing. Here are a couple pics of the kids:
After we picked the girls up, at which point Rylee could barely contain herself from the excitement of seeing her sissy's again, we drove into Idaho and found our hotel. It was right on the water and had a great view from the balcony. We decided to go find some food and let the kids run off some pent up energy in Coeur D' Alene. Before we left, Rylee had to use the restroom and since we were right outside of Bobbi's room, she used theirs. Big mistake! The toilet overflowed and got all over her legs and feet....YUCK!!! Number one issue with hotel...
Anyway, we decided to go down to the boardwalk in Coeur D' Alene and the kids loved it! It was getting a little dark, as we didn't get there until pretty late, but we managed to grab a few good shots. I think I had a few almost mini heart attacks every time Rylee took off running on the dock. McKenzie and Maddi were way too cool to pay much attention to the rest of us, Alyssa was busy keeping track of the little kids (because she thinks we are not capable), and Rylee and Colton just wanted to be as close to the edge as they possibly could. It was lots of fun but a bit stressful. I almost wished I had brought their lifejackets so we didn't have to worry as much.
When it was finally too dark to take any more pictures and the kids started to whine because they were tired, we decided to head back to the hotel. After a bath and clean jammies, the room quickly fell silent. Gotta love the calm after the storm! It was definitely an end to a good day...
