annnnndd....i'm home :(

I was definitely more sad than I thought I would be coming home from Coeur D' Alene.  But you really can't blame me.  Who would trade all-day boating, sun, and beach for being stuck in an office all day?  Nobody.

We left late Friday night after Mark got off work.  Threw the bikes and a little brother in the car and we were off!



Sadly, our boating plans were ruined when we woke up the next morning to pouring rain.  Instead we saw Men in Black 3.  As soon as we got to the theater, it was way hot outside and we were regretting our choice to see a movie.  It turned out to be okay though cause post movie it was a down pour again! It was still raining come dinner time so we took our grilling party inside to the garage.

The next morning we went to church and started the drive.  Half hour into it we look in our rearview mirror and see that Mark's mountain bike is hanging halfway off the bike rack.  Luckily we had some bungee cords so we were able to fix it. Then came the rain. Again.  I've never seen so much rain in my life at one time!  It was literally a white out on the freeway from rain.  We were going about 10 mph and were scared to death a semi would hit us from behind since you couldn't see anything in front of or behind you. But all turned out fine and we got to my grandparent's house Sunday night!  

Probably not what you picture when you think of Idaho huh?

The world's longest floating boardwalk

We went for a much needed walk around the lake by city beach and the resort.  Then we ended up playing this awesome {weird?} old fashioned game my mom bought at colonial days.
You just stomp on that little wooden board thing to pop up the ball so you can hit it with your paddle.  Whoever gets your ball is up next IF they can roll the ball through the grass and hit the wooden board.  It's a lot harden then it looks, trust me.  The grass was soggy and bumpy and muddy and I missed the target from like two feet away.  Maybe multiple times.  

And that about wraps up day 1!
