When Michael Came...

One weekend in the spring, cousin Michael came for a visit and we went on  a little jaunt to some nearby sightseeing spots.
 The Dry Falls


The Grand Coulee Dam & Visitor Center

 They do a laser light show on the dam after dark which the kids have enjoyed before. We didn't stay that long this time and spent most of the time learning about what it took to get the dam built.


 
 Trying out the divers suit...
 The giant wrench...
 And the jack-hammer.

 We stopped by a new park on our way home, that was just outside of town, and found it a great new spot to go to.
Had a fun playground  as well as a lovely little beach to swim at.










Aubrey preferred to keep her toes OUT of the water, as it was spring and still rather chilly.
 The other 2 enjoyed wading and throwing rocks.


 We have since been back with family and enjoyed swimming in the lake here.
 




When evening snuck up on us we meandered on home to get baths and bedtime done before the  little folk fell to pieces after a long day.

What fun places. We still want to come see the laser light show some time. It's always great to find new fun places close by you didn't know were there! ~ SJo

Fun photos! And, congratulations on #4. You must have a flat belly, because I didn't even notice when I saw you a couple weeks ago. :-)
