Well, let's see.....for my mom's 60th birthday, I was still living in San Francisco, so we flew my mom down and we all celebrated together in San Francisco. That was a lot of fun - and very memorable with all the touristy things that we did - Alcatraz, Pier 49, Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, Cable Cars etc etc etc. This year was a bit different since most of us kids are living in Spokane (except Todd) -- we wondered what we could do that would top SF! Well......we took her to Cheney! Hey....don't knock it -- it was actually quite fun. After Church, and lunch at our house, we drove to Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge park and just enjoyed the quite of the outdoors. We hiked a bit and the girls brought their binnoculars so they could look for signs of Spring. We saw ducks, all kinds of birds, beaver dams (but no beavers), osprey in their big nests, and squirrels. I think Jay and Mom had a good time -- and I know they really enjoyed watching Audriana and Sofia get excited about nature and Spring. It was low key -- and it certainly didn't have the WOW factor that SF did, but it was a nice day to be together as a family. We missed Todd and his family -- as well as Mike as he was driving back over to the Seattle area for work. Here are a few pictures of our outing.....
Looking good, Mom!
Sofia amazed us all with her puzzle skills on http://www.jigzone.com/. She's doing 16 and 20 piece puzzles all by herself - expertly navigating the site all by herself! Wow!

It's hard to see, but this is an Osprey nest -- way up high in these huge nests!
Sofia had such fun finding and picking yellow and purple flowers!
Awwww....aren't we cute. Still in love after all these years!
