Wait a minute - I'm the shortest one now!
The first thing we did was head for the shooting range. Tanner had never shot before and Bruce is more than willing to introduce new people to the sport. Plus, we were anxious to try out the new shooting range at Farragut State Park.
Bruce is a very patient and thorough teacher, and Tanner listened attentively. First and foremost - safety!
Nice form! Tanner's very first shot was less than 2" from the bullseye. Excellent!
We went to Eichardt's, our favorite pub in Sandpoint, for lunch.
The best way to see Spirit Lake is from the water, so we headed out with the boat. Tanner had never driven a boat, so guess what?
We put him behind the wheel! Caitlin looks nervous...
He opened the throttle and let her rip! OK, our boat only goes 25mph, but it feels like 100mph when you're out on the water!
He got the hang of it in no time. It was nice being chauffeured around the lake for a change.
Unfortunately, there were wildfires in Eastern Washington, so it was a smoky day. But it's still beautiful being out on the lake.
Passed by the island at the west end of the lake. Here's the original cabin from the late 1800s.
It has a rustic, pioneer charm. I don't think I want to live there, though.
Goodbye, fantasy island!
Scout, our youngest indoor cat, usually wants nothing to do with strangers, and she's been afraid of Caitlin since she was a kitten. So we were all surprised when she let Cait pick her up the night before they left.
And then, a few minutes later, Tanner had her in his arms!
And then it was time to go back to school.
Study hard and have fun! Until next time...
