Nonie comes to visit!

Justin's mom came to visit us for 3 weeks and we were busy. Caden calls here Nonie, hence the nick name. This was her first visit to Spokane, so we wanted to show her as much of the area as we could, without overexerting ourselves. The first night Jan was here, we went to Manito park. Caden doesn't want to pose for a picture, so this is what we got.... Then on Saturday we went to Wallace Idaho - a mining town. We went on a tour of a mine and got to wear the hard hats. We told Caden that he could be like bob the builder, so that got him to wear his hat. It was a really interesting tour and we learned lots. We then headed to Montana so that everyone could say that they have been there before. We were so close at that point (15 minutes) why not. So we went to the silver dollar bar. They have something like 51,284 silver dollars all over the building, mounted to the wall and such. It actually was impressive. The scenery was beautiful as well, especially looking down at lake coeur d'alene in the morning!

The next day, Sunday, we went berry picking at Greenbluff. This was so fun, and hilarious to watch Caden "help" us. He picked a few green ones, but did pretty well.

When we got home, we played some bocce in our yard, gardened and made jam. Busy week!


Here is the little stud muffin showing off - he didn't want to wear a shirt because daddy wasn't!
