Making Memories

So after our eagle watching experience, we spent some time in downtown Coeur d'Alene. I can't say that I have ever done that and it was kindof fun...especially when you have 4 teenagers and a hubby:) We went into a few shops and I would say our favorite was the FigPickle Toy Shop. We also found a candy store with a HUGE bubble gum machine with over 20,000 gumballs! That was my favorite place! We also saw some great gingerbread hoses...my favorite was Snoopy. We also stayed to see the lights and it was COLD but always so pretty! My pictures didn't turn out so good in the dark. Oh well! Lots of fun was had today and many memories were also made! Here are just a few misc pics.

The Eagles in Coeur d'Alene

We went to watch the eagles in Coeur d'Alene. I thought it was pretty cool...I don't know if the rest of my family thought it was as fun. The lake was beautiful and we saw a few eagles come and try to catch Chinook out of the lake. Caleb and Kelsie were scared of the cold so they stayed in the car....Pansies!!! Then we got a group shot and the kids decided to role play. Caleb, Kelsie are the talons, Zach is the wings and Jacob is the fish. Funny kids!

Ode to Young Women's

I have had the privledge of serving in the Young Women's organization for about 3 years and last week was released. It was a bitter sweet moment for me. For those of you who have served in YW you know the amount of time and energy it takes to fulfill that calling. The love that I have for these young women cannot be expressed in words. They will always have a place in my heart and I will treasure the time I was able to spend with them! I loved being able to be in YW with Kelsie. She will actually have a few months to be there without me finally! I have loved the YW leaders I have been able to serve with.They are amazing women and I will miss the associations I have had with them! But now we will be forever friends! Primary here I come! (So excited to serve the younger kids too!)
