Hidden Camera

She's delightful.

Coeur d'Alene

We went on a little weekend trip as a family to Coeur d'Alene. We've never been there before but quickly fell in love with it. Waterparks, amusement parks, lakes and beautiful scenery, and great shopping! The first day we took the kids to Triple Play and went on the water-slides all day.

We found a Cabelas, our family's absolute favorite store!!

Took a hike to Albeni Falls Dam near Spokane.

The best picture from the weekend???

We had an awesome weekend hanging out just the four of us and exploring new territory. We are definitely planning a trip back this summer so we can do Silverwood and rent some sea-doos on the Lake. The only question I'm left asking is: "Where the heck has Coeur d'Alene been all my life???"

CUBA

Jared and I were lucky enough to go to Cuba!! And trust me when I say LUCKY, especially considering I broke my tail bone 6 days before we were supposed to leave. Because of that, we thought we were going to have to cancel the whole trip but were able to make it happen...with the help of a wonderful Sister, Mom, orange inflatable bum donut, and plenty of Tylenol 3's :)

Too much to write about the trip, let's just say it was amazing and I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

I got pulled up on stage one night and taught how to play the bongo drums

We went on this Catamaran Boat Excursion were we snorkeled, saw dolphins, and spent the afternoon on a private island, swimming and eating.

On the Catamaran ride back, a crazy storm came up and the weather changed in an instant. It was quite the experience being on the rocky waves, wind blowing, bombarded by rain and sea water.

Okay the pictures just don't do it justice. It was a great trip and we were not ready to come home at the end. I would have tried to "miss" our flight home, had we not been missing the kids so much (who were at Grandpa and Grandma's in Sherwood Park). However, the kids didn't even miss us!! The nerve...
