First of all, the most important thing that happened this day is the Psych Season 3 Premiere!! Woohoo! We all made sure all the kids were in bed before it started and that everyone had plenty of snacks and dessert before it came on. I'm so glad my family enjoys this show as much as we do!
Also, we went to some silver mines that were kinda cool. They let us pan for gold afterward, which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. And Granddad got all of the kids a little velvet pouch of gems that they got to choose from a big box in the gift store. They've been loving them.
After the silver mines we went to this little town of Wallace. Huge waist of time, imo, sorry guys cuz it was partly my idea. The brochure made it look like a cool little old-timey village that would be fun to walk down the Main Street and look in all the shops. Nope. Just a bunch of antique stores. Oh well.
Audrey was taking a close look at the authentic mining cart behind her.
Kierra's always got a smile for me, even when she's freezing.
The gang going through the mine. No wonders we needed hard hats: look out Heather! Justin: "Why am I here?"
Saturday, July 19th
Check-out day. We got some take-out from Zip's, a favorite from my high school days, and went to Post Falls Park to eat before saying goodbye. All good things come to an end. :(
Some random pictures of the trip:
What we'll miss: family, all the good non-diet food, relaxation, watching 2 episodes of Psych each night, getting a good tan (unfortunately I can't say that about the rest of the crew. Sorry! I hope you don't peel too badly!)
What we won't miss: the stairs, being sick on vacation, the ants (they were huge! Like a half inch long or something, and they were everywhere! We've been home for several days now, and I'm still swatting at my feet every time they itch. Yuck!)
All in all, we had a great time. It was a very fun and relaxing trip, a great way to take a break from it all and just have fun with family, making memories in the process. Hope you all had fun too, Corless Clan! When do we start planning next year's shindig?
