Memorial Day Weekend-Priest Lake

Priest Lake Memorial Day Weekend
  • A tradition with my family, which we intend to continue with our kids.
  • Parade Saturday morning with homemade local floats, Smokey the Bear, the "Cool Bus" & lots of candy for the kids. Maybe next year we will have a float for the kids.
  • Then on to our dear friend Juanita's bbq after the parade/craft fair. Always great food, and good conversation with friends.
  • Prior years we used to frequent Hill's Resort on Saturday night. How things have changed with the kiddos. We were tuckered out by 10. Hill's will have to wait for another year.
  • Sunday AM I ran in the Coolin "fun run". Nothing really fun about it with all those hills.
  • In the afternoon we did a little cabin/beach clean up.
  • Monday we did some 4 wheeler riding with the kids, searching for buggies on the beach & then on to dinner at Cavanaugh's w/ the Christoffs to round out the weekend.
  • My cousin brought up their Wii. We had a ball with it at night after all the munchkins were in bed. Tennis is my new favorite. Thanks Alli & Corey!
  • We stayed up there till Wednesday enjoying the great weather.
  • How lucky we are to have such a wonderful place with so many memories. Thanks to my grandparents for having the foresight & thanks to my dad (and rest of the family) for giving us the fantastic place we have today.

Heading to Coolin for the parade. Notice our not so fancy "bike" helmets.

We met up with Tracy, Sami & Addi.

Showing off their "loot".

Worn out after all the festivities.

Juanita's annual Memorial Day party. So fun!


Aunty Kristie, Uncle Robbie & baby "Demo".

Grandma & Ravenna

Do you like her "froggy" boots? Probably not as much as she does.

Whenever Hudson was outside he ran to sit on 1 of the 4 wheelers. He LOVED them.
Made it easy to know where he was.

Our little lake kids.
Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend!

That last picture of them on the 4 wheeler together is a framer! I also love them holding up their loot. Looks like great fun!
