Mom & Dad!

We were fortunate enough to have mom and dad come and visit us this weekend. They drove up all day Wednesday and stayed until this morning (Monday) before heading back home. It’s been about 8 months since we’ve had visitors so we were really excited to have them come. We kept them pretty busy while they were here. We’d made a huge list of things to do and places to go and see and we got through almost the entire list! Some highlights were the White Pine Scenic Byway up to Coeur d’Alene where we took a beautiful hike overlooking the lake, we also went to lots of thrift stores (of course) and visited Spokane where the river was so full and fast that it was crashing around and sending spray that soaked us pretty good. It is very green and pretty here right now and all of our drives were so beautiful! Dad and I hit up the driving range, played tennis and took a 20-mile bike ride and Angie and Mom enjoyed the farmer’s market, buying and preparing lots of raw foods dishes and doing lots of chatting. It was a great weekend and it was sad to say good-bye, but they’ve got lots of kids and grandkids to see this summer and are on their way this week to southern Utah to spend time with the Ures. Thanks mom and dad for the visit, we love you!

Wow, the area really is green and beautiful! I need to see a photo of the falls in the spring. But I think my favorite photo of this post is Von on the slide. Way to go!

This was a great trip for us....thanks to Dangie for making it so nice. It is a beautiful area and the drive there was so amazing! We found many places to retire and have all our family live and farm with us. Truly it was awesome. We enjoyed seeing the school and work were Dan is and will be...along with the radio station. And we got to see were Angie spends her time at work as well. It seems like such a good place for you right now. Love you both so much!! Mom

Mom and Dad said that they found lots of great locations for the "Callister Compound" dream. Maybe we'll all end up there some day! hee, hee
