Locals (Spokane and Coeur d'Alene) =FREE Carriage Rides


Oh, how I LOVE STCU, Spencer's Carriages (Spokane) and the Rockin' K Ranch (Coeur d'Alene)! I don't know if you have heard about this, but they are ONCE AGAIN offering up FREE carriage rides in Spokane and Coeur d'Alene! Usually we (the kids, myself, and my dad) go downtown IN THE WINTERTIME and have fun freezing our behinds off. It has now become a Christmas Eve tradition for our family. I am so excited about the opportunity to do this when the weather is warm too!☺Anyway, my kids ABSOLUTELY love this! So, I'm thinking we are going to have to get down there pretty soon. Anyway, this is a certain way to have an ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE, FRUGAL, FAMILY GOOD TIME! What a GREAT way to create some memories without having to spend a bunch of money. Anyway, here are the details that I got from STCU's website....
