Thursday in Spokane: Manito Park

Thursday, we went to Manito Park to see the rose, Japanese, Duncan, lilac and the pond. Farley took lots of pictures. We all had some yummy lemonade at "The Park Bench", which is the little sandwich shop in the park. We walked around the park for almost three hours. Dad was such a trooper, I was so proud. Next we headed to the Elk Public House for an amazing lunch. In fact, just typing about it makes me want to go back. Yummy! Farley wanted to go to Nordstom Rack so that is where we headed next. I found a couple great pairs of jeans and a couple cute tops and he bought (dun, dun, dun) his first best of class tie. If you don't know about ties, let me tell you, this was a monumental moment in ties. Thursday was really non-stop fun because after having another super dinner at home, we went to Costco to buy supplies for the Sunday BBQ. Then we headed to a friend of the family's house to say hello before finally calling it a day!

Here are the pictures from Manito Park:

The Rose Garden in Manito Park---they were spraying for bugs so we didn't get to look around as long in the rose garden.
