In anticipation of Liam's visit, Nana & Pops purchased a swing to hang from the deck (where Liam had an awesome view of the lake) & a kiddie pool so he could splash around in the water whenever he pleased. They also got a baby gate for the deck, so Liam could freely walk around and we wouldn't have to worry about him & the stairs. It was so relaxing for me to know that their cabin is a safe environment for Liam, and that there are always extra eyes watching his every move!
We celebrated the 4th of July during our stay, which just so happens to be a favorite holiday of the Keenan Family (have I mentioned the ginormous American flag in our guest bedroom?!). Spirit Lake is a tiny town (no stop lights, but
Each day was relaxing and truly felt like a vacation! Conor works incredibly hard, so it was nice to see him take a break from work in Montana and Idaho and be able to focus all his attention on Liam & I. There is nothing better than waking up as a family each morning! :-) I also treasure the time with my parents and love seeing them shine as grandparents! My dad took time off of work as well, so lots of fun was had by all!
Sadly, Conor did have to go back to work eventually, but he was a wonderful husband who let me stay with my family for five extra days. Most of my time was spent at Spirit Lake, but we did head in to Spokane at the end of my visit so I could see some family & friends! It's always hard to squeeze in time with everyone we want to, so our days were extremely busy trying. I hardly took any photos while we were in Spokane which I am supper bummed about! However, the highlights include:
- Taco (and margarita) night at my brother Ryan's house.
- Lunch (which included a little bubbly) & shopping date with Nana for the Nordstrom Anniversary sale.
- Dinner at my Grandpa's house with my uncle & cousin from Texas who were in town visiting.
- Play date at Manito Park with my friend Christina (Liam's godmother) and her little boy Tommy.
- Lunch and kiddie pool time with my brother Jon's family.
- Dinner & drinks with Nana & Pops and my godfather & his wife at Casper Fry. This restaurant was amazing, and they have a great outdoor patio where we got to enjoy the warm summer night.
- Send off breakfast at Madeline's with Nana & Pops!
I packed as much fun as possible into our visit, but it never feels like enough time! I better start planning our next visit tonight! I'm bound to have some Delta miles stored up by now...
