High Rollin in ... Yakima??

Katie and I went to Yakima for a couple days for our annual state basketball trip. It seems for the past five + years Pateros has either sent their girls or boys to state. This year both teams made it. It's an excuse to get out of town!

Most of Katie's friends play basketball but one of her senior buddies didn't so they got together and made shirt to show their support.
We ate a few meals at Mcdonald's. One of Katie's best friends, Joslin, stayed with us after the girls team lost out (it's a double elimination tourney) and the boys were still playing. Joslin had 8 free meals at McDonald's that had to be used by the end of this weekend and only good in Yakima, so we enjoyed some fine dining. It was free so that's always fine to me!


The boys getting ready before they announced the starting line-up. Unfortunately they lost so we had to head home Friday afternoon. But like I said an excuse to get out of town and we need those every now and then in a small town!
P.S. I didn't blog about my last out of town get-away with mom and sister's cuz I had all the same pictures and I was a little slow getting to my blogging, but I had a super fun time too and just wish we could do it a little more often. I wish I lived close to all of you so we could get together whenever we wanted. :(

He's really still alive ...





it's good to have proof every now and then that he's really living and breathing out there somewhere, haha! the first picture is the house where he had to make a little "pit" stop when no other bathroom could be found, second picture is his current companion (he say's he's nice, smart but a little lazy) and apparently they will be together for another six weeks, last picture i have no idea who they are (Brian was telling the truth they don't wear a lot of clothes there!) i was hoping he would send a picture of the gigantic spiders they have, maybe next time.
