Our 2013 Trip to Post Falls!

September brought us back to Post Falls to visit Patrick, Amanda, and their children.
We, again, stayed at Templins where we enjoyed a room with a view!


Patrick brings the kids so they can share the view too.

We were so excited to see our grandchildren, Ava Marie, Peyton, and newest one, Noah.  


Ava has lots of charm.


Peyton captures attention when he enters a room.


Sweet Noah has his mother's brown eyes.


Their comfortable home and expansive backyard is an ideal place to raise children.

Pa couldn't wait to introduce himself to them again.  He always had waiting arms ready to be filled!

It was so good to see everyone again. 


 Patrick really enjoys fatherhood!


Amanda is a very happy mom!  
She always has one of her children on her lap---where
they love to be!

Nina got her chances to cuddle.

Patrick put his camera expertise to the test 
managing to capture lots of great photos.

These two look an awful lot alike!

It wouldn't be a trip to Post Falls without a visit to Aunt Mary and Uncle Paul's wonderful house and incredible playground.

The Temple home has so many tempting paths for children to explore and
a park-like playground where cousins can meet.

Ava tames the horse.


Peyton looks like a natural on the horse.

Parents and grandparents choose front row seats to watch the action.



No trip to Post Falls would be complete without a visit to 
Amanda's family, the Perezes.  Tammy provided
a delicious meal...as usual.  She makes it seem effortless.




It was sad to say goodbye...but we look forward to the next time!
