Yesterday was Kelli's birthday and after the day we had I can't help but feel like it was mine too! We started the day off by sleeping in, always a must on your birthday, then kicked it off with croissants at home. We then went to the mall downtown for a little shopping for the birthday girl followed by a fantastic lunch at a local soup and sandwich shop. Once we were finished with our great lunch we headed out to Liberty Lake in pursuit of stand up paddle board rentals! We'd done this last year with the Nagles and we fell in love with it! It's so peacefull and relaxing to be coasting around a lake on one of these boards! We found the rental place, as well as probably the best kept secret of the greater Spokane area, the Liberty Lake Community Park. This place is a small sand beach on the far south end of the lake with ample picnic tables, a playground, and a roped off swimming area complete with a floating island dock! We signed a quick release form and we were off and paddling. The lake was beautiful with tons of great scenery as it is tucked into a small mountain range, for a minute we both felt like we were back in Montana!
The water was the perfect temperature for us to take a quick dip as we paddled our way around the edge of the lake wishing we owned one of the many houses with private beaches! We called off our great day by having a wonderful dinner downtown. Overall it was not just a great day for Kelli, it was just simply a great day! And as I've mentioned on here before that's exactly what we've been trying to do!:)
Remember, if you can't beat the heat, get in the water!:)
