One of the days we were in Spokane, we went downtown to Riverside Park. It is a pretty nice place, with lots of attractions to play with. Normally, we are there in the winter, and skate on the outdoor ice rink. But in the summer, the rink is gone, and fairground type rides are there instead. We took the train around the park, and we wanted to take the sky ride, but it was down

   There is an interesting Jogger Sculpture at Riverside Park, with lots of bronze statues of all kinds of people jogging. A couple of years ago, the Downey’s took a picture of Adam and Aaron posing like the statues, so we thought we’d try to recapture the moment, this time with Arianna. You can see that Aaron is just too cool to pose for this.

   Another attraction we visited was Manitou Park. In the winter, there is a long sled run on a hill. But this summer, we visited the gardens of Manitou Park. There are lots of flowers, trees and bushes there, in all kinds of arrangements. I’ll let Cyndi post more in greater detail, but I thought I’d post this picture of Duncan Garden, with the kids posed for perspective.
   At the bottom of the steps are two posts, so after we walked around for a while, we came back up the steps towards the conservatory, and Aaron decided to pose as a lion, and Adam matched him. I think this says a lot about Aaron’s personality…reminds of how Snoopy liked to pose as a vulture.
