Here is Denny and Laura, with my very special and lovely granddaughter Ashley. This upstairs porch on their new house is "to die for" because it overlooks the Spokane Valley.
The porch wraps around to the backyard which has beautifully landscaped 2/3 acres. Denny spent three weeks chopping and cutting his way through the overgrown yard, and is still at it.
My granddaughter told me that they get deer every day in the yard, eating mommy's flowers. I thought this might be a slight exaggeration until we went through the gate...low and behold was that darn flower eating deer!
The girls are making Denny and Opa lunch.
Ashley is showing Opa the "proper" way to eat an Oreo cookie.
Playing games after supper...of course Ashley beat Opa and Granny.
The next day we went fishing.
Daddy helps Ashley with the fishing. He (I mean Ashley:-)) caught 8 to Opa's one fish...something I am not proud of.
This little girl is not squeamish at all. Ashley first kisses the worm for luck, then kisses the fish before setting it free. Might have to keep a close eye on this one at age 16 or so.:-)
Next day we took a boat tour around Coeur D' Alene. Here Granny soaks up some warm sun on the top deck.
Ashley and Opa look out over the lake. If the tour employees had at least one ounce of personality or a better narration, the boat ride would of been more enjoyable.
Around the beach were metal statues of different animals.
Denny and Laura took us to a "Pig in the park" festival in Spokane. We had not known that there were these beautiful falls right in downtown Spokane.
Have to add this one because she is such a beauty! (and smart as a whip too, whatever that means)
Time to say goodbye for now, our visit was much too short. Next year we plan on a month up here. This will give granny and I plenty of time to find more tie-dye...ha ha
