A Visit From the Hawryluks!

One of my mission companions and best friends brought her family to Spokane for a visit. It was SO much fun. I always forget how much I miss her until we’re together. If there’s ever been a person who understands me and loves me and is fun to boot, it’s Kim. I fondly call her Bulldog . . . and can’t seem to stop. It’s not a very fitting title either because she is one of the most genuinely kind people I know. Heart of gold in this gal. Plus, her husband’s fantastic and her kids are awesome so what’s not to enjoy? My kids STILL talk about this visit a year later. Friends for life.

Riverfront Park gondola ride over the Spokane River Falls. Not as exciting as anticipated . . . and the cars desperately need AC, but whatever.

And a few Riverfront Park rides. The kids had a blast doing the same ones over and over.

Tanner and Brianne became quite the little buddies. So much fun.
