Hello all you fabulous friends! I have not been a very good "blogger," but I promise I will do better in the future. :)




July 4th on Pend Oreille Lake (freezing!)



Conn and I recently celebrated our 2 year anniversary on July 1. We had a wonderful dinner overlooking the Spokane River at Clinkerdagger's Restaurant. We sat outside under the canopy with a light breeze while we were enjoying our meal. I have to say the food was fantastic!! I had been saving a new dress I bought for the occasion and I have to say it was worth the $!! If you remember this was the Tuesday when we got that really big dust/wind storm. So at the tail end of our dinner and dessert it got a little crazy outside, good thing we just finished our drinks and dessert!







After dinner, when the wind storm was swirling around us!





This last weekend we had a hair raising, wild, screaming time! It all started Friday night. Conn and I went to "The Dark Knight" (the new Batman). Have to say we loved it! For one I absolutely love Christian Bale, not only is he a great actor, but easy on the eyes too (he ranks up there for me along with the new 007)!! Heath Ledger's performance was great, and I say that not because he has past on, but because it was truly a "scary" performance, he was probably the best villain Batman has seen!



On Saturday, we continued with our "Screaming" weekend and went to Silverwood. Conn and I were accompanied on this great adventure by Kenny and Rachel, Grace (Rachel's sister) and Ali (Grace's friend). We had a great time at the water park the first half of the day and on the rides the second half. We enjoyed good old fair food while we were there. I had to get my elephant ear and Conn demanded that everyone has to try a funnel cake once in there life, and Saturday was that day! So we all split our desserts and loaded up as many quarters as we could with our remaining cash so we could shoot off the geysers on the log ride, soaking people at 9pm at night. It was the highlight of the day!! I have to say my favorite group we got was a bunch of older elementary school girls that screamed and hollered when we soaked them. The best was when we were walking back they came out of the ride fuming and complaining to their chaperon, and he just told them to get over it. I laughed so hard!!



When we left Silverwood, we went to Conn's parents cabin outside of Sandpoint and crashed for the night. The next day was absolutely stunning, what summer is all about. A great day on the lake, tubing, water skiing, jumping off cliffs and just soaking up the sun! Nate and Julie joined our groups for Sunday. One of my favorite moments of the day was when Julie and I were tubing on one tube and Grace and Ali were on the other, which I think was a little smaller and definitely more awkward to stay on. So we are laying on our stomachs trying to stay on as Conn is trying to be nice driving, the girls (Grace and Ali) start out like us on their stomachs and as we start going Julie and I look over and they are flipping out because they are going to fall, so Ali (love the girl) decides to climb over Grace and hook her hands in the most awkward handles and she is like a frog on top of Grace gritting her teeth and hanging on for dear life! I laughed so hard my stomach hurt!







Here is Kenny and Rachel tubing! Way to go brave girl! I swear Conn didn't dump you on purpose! :)








Nate and Julie, who will be leaving us soon for the East Coast! Losers, we'll miss you! :)
