To market, to market….

Kanyon and Leonard had to be a Scout Day Camp today at Camp Easton.  I decided to take the girls to the final Farmer’s market in downtown Coeur d’Alene.  There were quite a few booths and some yummy snacks.  They were having an “Apple Palooza” which meant that there were several vendors downtown giving away samples of apple treats (apple pie, apple tarts, apple muffins, even apple margaritas – didn’t try those!)  We had a good time walking around Sherman and visiting some of the shops that I have always wanted to go in, but never have.  We were also pleasantly surprised to find free face painting.  Miranda was so excited and asked for “A rainbow”.  The artist said, “Would you like a unicorn too?”  Miranda’s eyes got big and she nodded.  She sat quietly and was so happy to see the finished project:

Thomas

Michelle and Thomas made their way to Coeur d’Alene this week.  Well, Michelle made it anyway.  Thomas only went as far as Spokane for his marching band competition.   So… we decided to go there to watch him play.  It was a good day to be outside.  We found that those marching bands can get kinda serious!  We were there for the preliminary competition.  It was fun to see him on the field with his classmates.  I actually got a few pretty good pictures, so I thought I better blog about them!!  Their high school had a Star Trek theme.  We thought they did a great job!  Thanks for inviting us, Michelle, and for helping me with the kids while we watched.  It was fun to have you here!
