Cousins Rock

We started the day with a drive from Couer d'Alene to my Dad's new house up on the Snake River. I used to call it a cabin, but after seeing the place, I've realized that "cabin" in no way describes it. We stopped at the top of the Lewiston grade to get a picture. You can see the cities of lewiston and clarkston separated by the snake in the background. Lewiston is on the left. We hung out at the river house for a couple of hours while dad chatted up tim. Then we headed down to town to do a little party shopping. After getting the appropriate booze and desserts and whatnot, we went to Marks to change before a couple of family dinners. My parents went to a dinner with all of my dad's siblings and his parents at my aunt Janet's house. Steph and I went to a separate dinner with my adult cousins at uncle Dick's house. I had such a good time hanging with my brothers and my cousins, all of them Ron and Sue's kids, that the time just flew by. We drank beers and chatted, had chicken enchiladas and chatted, and then played board games and chatted. It was the best time I think I've had in the past 10 years. Unfortunately all good things must end, and now Steph and Dan and I are crashed out in my Dad's trailer, parked in front of Mark's house. It's a pretty sweet setup, and I can't wait to get to bed, so good night.
