Priest Lake Get Away for Conference Weekend

Larry and Maren Longhurst invited us to rent a cabin with them and Mark and Tori Orndorff for the weekend of general conference at Priest Lake. We watched all 5 sessions of conference, hiked, biked, kayaked, played games, visited, and ate a lot of good food.

Between the Saturday morning and afternoon sessions, we came down to the lake and did a little kayaking and walking along the lakeside trail. 
Garret had a hard time getting started in his kayak

Last Day at Spirit Lake for the Summer

We love Spirit Lake and are always so sad when the summer ends.  We had a warm September so we were able to go out one last time.  I even went off the rope swing for the 1st time!

Trial of the Coeur d 'Alene

We rode the trial of the Coeur d 'Alene from Chatcolet to Harrison and back with Jon and his family on Labor Day.  We had ice cream cones in Harrison and then rode back.  It was lots of fun until Ike's battery on his e-bike died on the ride back.
