We have been to Raptor Reef Park now 4 times-once a year these last 4 years. First time when it was raining on a trip planned to Silverwood, so we went there instead. It is 200 miles from here, in Courdelene, Idaho. We left around 10am Tuesday. We ate Lunch in Moses Lake, and then to Spokane Riverfront Park around 1;30pm. Jan and Emilee went shopping while Cody, Caitlyn and myself checked out the park. We highly recommend Spokane Downtown Medical Center Quality Inn- they always treat us so good and kids love it there. We actually have stayed there over a dozen times and it is filled with good memories for us and the kids. They let us check in a few minutes early to rest, and then off to Chuck E Cheese for dinner and games. We drive by the house we lived at 35 years ago in the valley and where Jeremy was born. I was glad to rest back at motel, and the kids were good to let me. Wednesday we actually arrived 45 minutes before opening time, so Jan and Emilee shopped at Walmart and Cody, Caitlyn and myself played "I spy" in the car. Then we were the first ones in park at 10am. I could not go in water due to surgery, and they did not charge for me to sit and take photos. We ate lunch there, and about 3;30 we let the kids play some arcade games with money their mom gave them. After a 5pm meal at Taco Bell- it did not take the kids long to fall asleep for the quiet trip home. We really had a great time,wish you could have joined us. I feel sorry for you if you don't have grandkids- they really make these trips fun. Our kids grew up too fast.
