Sandpoint Fun

Brendan is still away on his three week trip to Europe, but he will return on Monday.  I decided to break up the three weeks by planning a week long trip in the middle up to my sister Dawn's house.  She lives in Northern Idaho near Washington.  Sandpoint, Idaho is a beautiful resort town with cool weather in the summer, so it was a refresher from the heat in Utah.  Whitney came too.

My sister has four kids with a big playroom, so Hazel loved it!  With all of the toys you would think Hazel and John (my two year old nephew) wouldn't have a problem finding their own toy to play with.  Whatever toy Hazel had John had to have it too.  A toy Hazel really liked was a cute little grocery cart.  One day John not only took it from her, but he ran her over with it too.  I wasn't there to witness it because I fell ill one day, but I was informed Whitney had never laughed so hard at the sight of it.  One toy I might have to purchase for Hazel is the Little Tikes Coupe.  She couldn't get enough of it, even though she can only walk backwards in it to get it to move.

Some activities we enjoyed during the week were: swimming and playing in the sand at the neighborhood beach, wakeboarding and wake surfing, a stop downtown to the Hey Cupcake shop to get huckleberry ice cream, blueberry picking, canning and jam making, and a bow holder project (pics coming soon.)  Thanks Dawn!  We had a great week!
