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. :(

Glad you and Katy had some time together. Having something different to do is always good. Sorry the teams were not so successful.

That sounds like lots of fun...even if the teams didn't win. I always love watching basketball.

I love mcdonalds cheeseburgers. I know they are small and flat, but I've been craving them this pregnancy!

It looks like you guys had fun. I don't think it matters WHERE you go, as long as you GO. Of course, Hawaii is nice... but it is the company that really counts. How great that you guys have a "tradition" of mom-daughter time.
