I am a huge fan of garage and yard sales and one of the things we did this Spring in April 26th and 27th was attend the Camelot Community Garage sale held once a year. The first day I forgot my camera but my daughter and I who was expecting her sixth baby and over due went back the next day and hit some of the sales we had missed on the first day. The first day cars were lined up along highway 2 and people were pulling wagons, pushing strollers and walking from one sale to the next.

At One o Clock p.m June 14th, My husband and I left the Liberty Lake annual yard sales to attend Donna’s School of Dance Recital held annually at the Spokane Opera House in Down town Spokane on Riverfront. This really fun family event is free to the public and has a lot to see. We were invited by our son Ray to attend the recital because two of our grandchildren were in the recital and what we learned when the show began so was our son.

After nap time this afternoon we decided to head to downtown Spokane to take in all the 4th of July festivities. We ended up parking by the Spokane Veteran’s Arena to avoid the congestion downtown and walked through Riverfront Park. As we entered the park we could immediately tell we were in for a fun afternoon.
