In Preparation to End the Summer

It was such a hot day that we decided to spend some time in the car and go on a day trip to Spokane to go to the River Park square area in Spokane, WA. It was a good way to wrap up the summer. We have not gone on vacation this summer with a new baby and a new home to keep us busy, so this was all for the kids (except a quick trip to Target)! We went to Red Robin, the candy shop, the merry-go-round, and for a walk in the park!

Madeline and the elegant horse. Those red cheeks show how hot we are! It was the one portion of the day when we were not in air conditioning.

Ivan chose a giraffe, obviously, but he later realized there was a tiger. That would have been pretty cool, he thought.

The clock tower.

Ivan chased hundreds of ducks and geese back into the water.

Fiona took interest in something her own size. I really enjoy watching a 2 month old discover newness.
