Liisa graduates again

We went up to Spokane to visit with Aunt Liisa on the day she got her Masters degree from WSU. In Riverside Park we rode the carousel, slid down the big wagon slide, fed some garbage to the garbage goat, and watched the ducks and geese. We had lunch at a French restaurant that had embraced the local food trend. Mark had the duck hash. After lunch Nora went to the ceremony with her grandparents and Paul while Mark and I took the other kids shopping. Mark's favorite Spokane store is White Elephant. Henry and Helena enjoyed their complimentary rides on the mechanical elephant. Dinner was at a more casual French bakery and then we headed home.

can you please explain to me what kind of store the White Elephant is? I always see the outside of the store, but we've never actually made it inside. Is it a hunting store, dollar-type store, etc.?

It is half outdoor store and half toy store. They have a big selection of toys at good prices so the kids and I hang out on that side while Mark looks at guns.
