End of Summer and Trip with DeA

Marissa and Javi's petting zoo is pretty fun to visit. DeA desperately wants the goats to trust her.

They are good judges of character and finally were eating out of the palm of her hand.

DeA the Sofia wrangler

Jens outgrew her old bounce-back net so we got her a new one. She put it together and was excited to use it. She hit the first ball into it and it launched about ten feet over her head, so this one is definitely better than her old one.

DeA and I went on a fancy date to a fancy location that also had a lice clinic, so yeah, only the best for my DeA.

We did a session at the Spokane temple, it was the first time I was there in about 25 years and it was definitely smaller than I remembered it. 

Next to our hotel was a Brazillian Churrascaria, we hadn't eaten in one of those in about 18 years so we had to hit it up.

She looks proud of the fact that I flipped my card over first, but she did skip the lamb and some of the pork.

She celebrated by chugging the rest of the $5 bottle of "free" water.

We stayed at the Davenport Grand because she is worth it

We enjoyed our night in Spokane, but were happy to end up in Coeur D'Alene for the next three nights. She found us a great little BBQ place.

She also found a roller rink where she showed off her professional roller blade skills

She was very, very excited

I could tell that I was not nearly as good as she was because she kept skating up to me and recording my ungraceful blading.

It took a few tries, but I finally found her flourless chocolate tort that she had been craving.

Church was only 20 minutes long because the plumbing went out in the building, so we drove to Sandpoint. It was very busy with tourists.

One roller blading session wasn't enough, so we went again on Monday.

We had even more fun, and then I caught her looking up tricks to try.

Now we are actively trying to figure out how to open a roller rink in the valley and she has been obsessed with finding the right blades and starting a youtube channel, so stay tuned for more content like this:
