Sekani Adventure Day

http://sekaniadventureday.wordpress.com/
Why we went to this place is because my family is an outdoor family. We go camping, hiking, hunting. This event was about family time and being out in nature. The first thing we did was to climb on the rocks and exploring the area. There are big rocks there to climb and trails to hike on. The second activity was geocaching. If you don't know what that is, it's like looking for treasure with a GPS and clues. I didn't get to find a cache because there were so many kids and we were only looking for two but in our area there are over a thousand caches so my mom and I might start doing this. http://www.geocaching.com/
The next activity we tried was mountain biking. There are a lot of mountain bike and bmx trails in that area, run by the Fat Tire Club. I am a great bike rider and I wanted to try one of the jumps. I was using a bike they had there and wasn't used to it. It didn't have any handbreaks which is weird. I was going down the hill, lost focus and I couldn't stop myself. I made it to the "bridge" and got halfway across before I fell over. I got some scrapes and bruises but I was o.k. and rode back to the main area. I'm sure I won't be using that bike to go on a jump again! A boy has to get his hurt on sometimes in this life.

The last adventure we had was paddle boarding. I was pretty good at this and I was able to stand up. My mom could not stand up very well. It's like you are surfing but with a paddle.
Because this day was so fun and full of so many activities, I'll have to give Sekani Adventure Day five thumbs up. It was really cheap to have all this fun for a few hours with your family.

We ended the day at Chillspot on Monroe.http://chillspotspokane.com/ Yummy frozen yogurt after a fun day (or any time!).

Famous Daves- Missoula Montana

Whenever we are in Missoula, MT, Dad wants to go to Famous Daves because it's all about the PIG. My dad is a big fan of pork and that's why he wants to go there. If we went there every day, he'd be as fat as 200 pigs so it's good we don't live in Missoula.
The menu features hamburgers, ribs, shredded pork, pork chops, and of course cinnamon apples. My meal was all about hamburgers because that is the only thing I get at Famous Daves as I don't like pork and ribs. The burger was well cooked and the fries were good. Mom had the lunch special which is smaller portions of the big plates. Dad had his normal ribs and shredded pork. They gave us hand fried chips to taste the bbq sauces. I used the Texas Pit sauce to give it extra sweetness.
One thing I like about Famous Dave's is their decorations. The outside is made of wood and it makes you feel like you are in a hungting lodge. There are deer heads on the walls, camping gear and beer bottles. My favorite character that is on the wall is Smokey The Bear.
I'm not a big fan of a lot of the food there but I have to give this place 4 thumbs up because they put good work into the restraunt and make their food special.
