We went up to Spokane for a few reasons, most importantly for my Step-Grandpa's funeral. My widowed Nana married Bruce Lindquist six years ago and now she is widowed again. He passed away due to complications from a stroke. We just ache for her. He was a good man who loved her and we're all going to miss him. This was a sad time.
Over the weekend it also happened to be Jesse's cousins wedding and reception so he went to the wedding in the Spokane temple, and we took the whole family to the reception. It was a really fun Hawaiian theme. This was a cause for celebration!!
Because of all the Noack family being in town, we were also able to attend my cousin Samuel's baptism and my newest cousin Russell's baby blessing. It was definitely an emotional weekend! We managed to sneak in a day at the park downtown too! We are so grateful we were able to be a part of it all.
This is John on top of "Foxhill" where Jesse's parents live. He likes to sit out on the rocks and look over the valley.

Jessica loved it!
John couldn't smile bigger if he tried. He was ecstatic to get the tiger on the carousel!

Every park should have one of these! It's a sculpture that has a vacuum inside it so you can "feed" the goat trash. Jesse has memories of doing this as a kid.
