Did anyone read about the naming of the new 7 wonders of the world? Thought it was interesting. I actually was showing a book this week to the girls about the original 7 wonders of the world and was thinking how cool it would be to travel back in history to see them. Only one of the original 7 survives today (the Great Pyramid at Giza).

My question for you is which of the new wonders would you like to visit the most and WHY??

It is hard for me to narrow down, but my top three choices are: the Colloseum (I love Roman and Greek architecture and to visit these areas is a must on my future travel to do list), Machu Picchu (looks so beautiful, I love the mountainous setting), and The Great Wall (so massive, I just have to see someday - there is also a marathon on it, maybe I could do someday?)

Enjoying the water park as it was 103 degrees today!

Check out my flag cake - a perfectly scaled replica!
It is a cherry chip cake with cream cheese frosting
served with Kurt's homeade ice cream.

Here's some photos from our visit two weeks ago with Kurt's dad. We spent Saturday in Riverfront Park and had a blast. The girls rode the carousel and Elizabeth got to ride her first ferris wheel ride and airplane ride. Then all of us rode the new and improved gondola ride over the Spokane Falls. It was a fun day.
