River Front Park and Spokane River Falls (08/05/12)

Had to take a picture of this, someone had spray painted "Josh" underneath one of the bridges!

My Beautiful and handsome man, on our walk!

This was a big huge copy of a wagon. Thought it was neat so snapped a pic of it.

They gave Gondola rides right over the top of the falls, but the weather was to hot, so they were closed down when we were there.

The PF Chang horse. Might have to eat there someday.

In the City Center pretty much Downtown Spokane there is a very big and beautiful park called River Front Park. There is lots of trails for walking, beautiful scenery, rides, an IMAX theater, stores, waterfalls, and it is all right on the Spokane River. We walked around the park and enjoyed all the sights, took pictures, and talked. We didn't ride any of the rides, but we did take in an IMAX show, not the 3D one, but we watched "Rescue." It is a documentary about countries coming together, along with their military forces and volunteers, to aid in the recovery and rescue of the terrible earthquake that hit Haiti a few years back. It was pretty interesting. ~~~ We also walked around in the downtown mall that was there as well, just to pass the time and see what was inside. There was also a lot of stores / shops on the outside along the street as well. We didn't shop or buy, just looked! ~~~ We kept on seeing this guy, who looked to be homeless everywhere we went in the park. Josh swears that he was the same guy we had seen a few days earlier on the street corner over by our room where we are staying at (which is about 10 miles away or so from our room). If this same "alleged" guy was the same guy, he was standing on the street corner acting as if he was trying to take pictures of passing cars and kept lifting up his shirt showing off his belly?!? Anyhow, the guy we seen in the park looked the same, but I was thinking that was sure a long way for him to walk. He had a red sleeping bag draped around his shoulders and just walked around everywhere and talked to himself. Josh and I wondered and talked how someone could get to that point and what makes a person go there. It also made us thankful that God has blessed us enough to hold onto our hearts and emotions, and our lives in his hands and protect us, so that we would not have to face a battle like that. Guess it could happen to anyone, just takes the wrong moment and our souls peg out! ~~ Well enough of that here are some pictures!
