Weekend In the Palouse


We had a fun weekend. How could it be bad when Tyler came home on Friday night with roses and a little present for me? Woohoo. That started our weekend off great. I love you Ty!! Friday night we attended an art exhibit downtown by a fantastic local artist who just happens to be in our ward...the talented Danielle Hatch. It was so fun to see her art on display. Then we headed out on the Palouse highway to hit a rural roadside café that we had heard great things about. The rumors were true. It was delicious.

Saturday we headed down to Stacey's cute little town to celebrate my nephew Dane's 6th birthday. He had a wild and crazy Transformer birthday party at a Gymnastics center.

Look how fun!!

Some of the party-goers. Kameron and Ailey had a great time...Bryn too.

The Birthday Boy and his Dad

The whole crew

After the party we went back to Stacey and John's house to hang out for awhile and to let the kids play...and burn off some energy.

Sister time

Bryn was intrigued by John's goshawk. It's pretty to cool to have a falconer for an uncle!!

We were heading back home that afternoon when we decided to turn around and spend a bit more time in the area. Bryn had fallen asleep and the open road was calling. Plus with several Sisters Creed sales approaching I am always on the hunt for fun finds. I was not disappointed. I will post a sneak peek on the Sisters Creed blog in the next day or so. I am getting so excited for our upcoming sales!!

After playing in Moscow, ID for awhile the kids were starving and we were in Pullman, WA so we decided to try a restaurant that my friend,Valynn, had recommended.

The kids loved it...and Tyler was thrilled to get to eat some lasagna. I'm not a big Italian food fan so we rarely eat Italian so this was a TREAT for my family. Poor suckers missing out on all that marinara laden pasta.

Look at those Italian loving faces

I found something good to eat as well...minus the marinara. They have really good salads and desserts too. Reilly missed out as she was babysitting Elle that night but that girl has been keeping us supplied with these little beauties:

Homemade soft pretzels!! Reilly learned how to make them in her Life Skills class formerly known as Home Ec. and they are sinful...and addictive.

Happy Birthday this week to Dane and John!!
We love you guys.

Oh, how I miss my Basilio's! I love the braided cheese bread they have...yum. I'm glad your kids liked it. :)

HEY! I have, of course, eaten at Basilio's. That brought back a round of memories! (Moscow is not exactly overflowing with restaurant choices...) but I do remember it was yum.
