We have so many favorite things to do in Spokane in the summertime. Every day we have an adventure and every day we enjoy being together. Here are the highlights:
Bumpers Fun Center is a fairly recent discovery. There are arcade games that spit out tickets according to scores. Anna wins enough tickets to exchange for a purple cuddly bear and gives her extras to Sean who exchanges the lot for a blue "emergency" light. Should be fun in his room at night. We ride the bumper cars (Nana too), and play miniature golf.

Riverfront Park is an annual favorite. We buy day passes and spend.....the day. The ferris wheel is really fun and Sean catches the gold ring on the carousel. It's good for one free ride, however, it will expire before he returns to Spokane. Still, he gets the glory! The IMAX movie features a polar bear mama and her twin cubs and teaches us about the effects of global warming. Sean and Anna rotate among their best-loved rides. We want to ride the gondola over the falls, but it is closed for the afternoon because of the high temperatures. Next time!
We shop at different places on different days. At Wonders of the World Sean selects a dragon statuette, Anna a heart shaped prism. Target is our spot to shop for school supplies, and Freddies is just for fun. We also visit Nordstrom where Sean very thoughtfully selects two pairs of school shoes.
Sean and Brokaw take in two Spokane Indian's baseball games. They have so much fun at the first one, they decide to go back for the second. While the guys are at the game, Nana and Anna have their nails done. During that second game they spend some time at Build-a-Bear where Rocky the Bear is born. Anna creates her and advises Nana on the building of a second bear for Claire's first birthday.
We see the latest Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie and put in our order for the next book in the series which will be published in November.
Sean starts a collection of quarters from each of the 50 states. We order key chains of his favorite cars to deck out his school backpack.
We have a tea party on the lawn. Sean cooks up a special dessert. There is swimming and of course, Froyo!!

Nana's heart breaks when she has to say good-bye.
Love you! Miss You! Come back again soon.
What a special trip. I'm sad to see the end of the blog. Thanks for letting us read along. xx
