Back From Kah-nee-ta


I went to Portland to spend time with family and friends and then my Mom, Sister, myself and of course Gracie spent two wonderful days in Kah-nee-ta. Kah-nee-ta is a warm spring resort that has a huge pool that is fed by the springs and there is a little spa there as well. There are lots of summer activities that you can do such as kayaking, hiking and horseback riding. We just hung out at the pool and had massages at the spa… Ahhh… It was wonderful! Grace loves the pool and relishes in the constant attention between the 3 of us swimming with her. My massage was absolutely amazing and I only wish it was two hours long instead of 45 minutes. Oh, and with our package deal we got $10 dollars in Casino money. My sister and I went to the Casino with our free coupons, while G-ma watched a movie with Grace. We won $115.00! WHOOO HOOO!

Kah-nee-ta is a place that Stacey and I would go to often. Sometimes we would go with other friends and even spent the night a few times but most often we would just go for the day. I have so many memories of Stace at Kah-nee-ta that it is a little hard to be there without her. I had lots of time to reflect on the last year, and as the one year anniversary of Stace going to Heaven is this month… I really miss her, but I am finally coming to a place where I can see how God has worked in my life over the past year… But that is for another post. So here is to Stacey and all of the fun memories and here is to being able to live again and making new memories! And here is to Stace again, swimming in The Crystal Sea, wearing her size 6 swimsuit… or maybe she’s NAKED! ;)

Carol, sounds like you had a great time with your sis and mom.

I am glad that you can find yourself in a new place. You have a great way of keeping Stacy's spirit alive. I wish I would have known her here and I look forward to meeting her someday in my size 6 self!

So glad to have you home!

Hey Carol! Sounds like you had a lot of fun!! Did you have good weather the whole time you where there? From the picture it looks like you did! I can't beleive that you won $115.00!!! Shopping time, right??

Carol said...

Yup the weather was really nice, a little windy the first day and perfect the second day. ;) I actually won $50 and my sister won $65. My sister went to the gift shop and bought me, Grace and our Mom Kah-nee-ta t-shits with her winnings, she is so giving all the time like that. ;) I will be headed to the gas station today and will hopefully see the little needle actually touch the F with my $50! =( OK, I am headed over to see why Jamie tagged me and hopefully have another post soon!

I am planning on going to Silverwood! I hope I have a job by then. I think it is on a Friday so I will see if I can get that day off... I really want to do the roller coasters and all the water slides! Maybe I will make it an extra special day for you and wear my bikini! LOL! JK, I have no bikini so you can quit trying to picture it! ;)
