Winter Wonderland

Merrrrrrry Christmas! We've had over 36" of snow and it's really stacked up. We've had fun and a bit of shoveling too

Grandpa Russ came to Visit!

Grandpa Russ came to visit for the Turkey Day Holiday. We had a great time and relaxed a bit too. Zane and Grandpa Russ had fun playing together, dancing to blues music, and eating chocolate, oh wait, Grandpa Russ ate all the chocolate! Thanks for coming up Grandpa! Love Ryan, Holly, Zane and Wheeler!

Jay's Bench

Jay's memorial bench has been installed. We are still accepting donations to the "Jay Danser Fund" Please see the right column of this website. The Bench is located at the start of Higgens Point at the end of Coeur d' Alene Lake drive or it's also the start of the Centenial Trail. Jay visited this location in the past and trained along the trail. He would have loved the panoramic view from this bench.
