questions questions questions...Question 4 answered

Question four in this series comes from North Idaho Daddy blogger, Family Phil (A Family Runs Through It). Great blog, great commenter, homeschooling stay at home dad...the works. How he finds time to even have a life is beyond me. Anyway, on with Phil's Question:

Who's your favorite Daddy Blogger?
But seriously...
What's your favorite family thing to do in Spokane?

My favorite Daddy Blogger? Well, you, of course. But there are others. One other daddy blogger that comes to mind is Peefer (Peefer's Home). He writes about his kids often (which I suppose is the hallmark of a "daddy blogger"), and he writes very well. I like peefer and his writing a lot, you should all check him out. Just don't shoot peefer in an alley, you might get arrested.

As to your second question Phil, I'd have to say that one of our favorite things to do so far in and around the Spokane area (I'll have to expand it to North Idaho as well) is to visit Walter's Fruit Ranch in Green Bluff (all times of the year), and also visit Sandpoint in the summer. We love to do both, and our kids always look forward to these outings.

We also love to go downtown to, what the kids like to call, "the wagon park." We enjoy hanging around there, riding the Looff Carousel, and talking to the vagrants. It's lots of fun. Personally, I love getting lost in Aunties Book Store, and could do that for hours, if given the chance.

We enjoy things in Cour de'Alene as well. Namely, Fort Sherman playground and Independence Point. The kids LOVE that place also.

Other things we did around the Inland Northwest this past year was go to the lake with Bobness, and also Huckleberry picking with Bobness. Those two things were some of our top favorites this year, which we hope we'll get to repeat next year. We also went to the top of Mt. Spokane a couple of times, and Steptoe Butte once.

Every year it's different. We like lots of things, and we do lots of things. I'm sure it's the same with you. We've only lived here three years, and we haven't even begun to explore what all there is to do around here.

So, well, there you have it. I didn't really mean for this to become a round up of last years outings and events, but it just sort of turned out that way.

What do you all like to do around your neck of the woods?
