Spokane Hoopfest

We have had a weekend full of basketball!!!

Hoopfest has grown to become the largest 3-on-3 street basketball tournament and family festival of its kind in the world. Annual participation in Hoopfest exceeds 6,700 teams and 26,000 players. With players coming in from 42 states including Hawaii, Georgia, and Kansas, it now takes over 428 courts to house the 14,000 games. It is believed that the second largest 3-on-3 basketball tournament in the country has no more than 1,500 participating teams.

We had a fantastic day watching many of the teams play!

The weather was perfect and the experience was great!

And to top it off, Samantha's BEST FRIEND Cameron was in town to watch!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Tubbs Hill

Have you ever been to Coeur de Alene, ID? This little hike is near the famous Coeur de Alene Hotel. Such a beautiful little hike around a part of Coeur de Alene Lake!

Do you see Simon? That little chipmunk just goes everywhere with us!

Look at the view! Beautiful!

Go find a trail and hike it!

You will be glad you did!

Secret Places

One of our favorite places to visit with the family is a little beach near my folks house called

WARM BEACH.

It is our secret little spot!

We collect rocks!

We play in the little creek nearby!

We cuddle while watching the girls!

We dig!

Oh yea, and if you live in the Pacific Northwest, you do all these things in the rain!

How about you? Do you have a family favorite or secret place you like to visit?

We would love to hear about it!

Route of the Hiawatha Rail Trail

What a fantastic day it was out on the Hiawatha trail! (www.ridethehiawatha.com) The views are
unbelievable and God's creation is magnificent!

Along the trail there are interpretive signs that share the history of the railroad.

Nearly 15 miles of the route is open to bikers and hikers. The stretch between

the East Portal and Pearson trailheads include 10 tunnels and 7 high steel trestles!
