Memorial Day Weekend












































Over Memorial Day weekend, TJ had a softball tournament in Moses Lake so we took the opportunity to go camping. TJ found a really good deal on a trailer to rent...isn't it cute? It was the perfect size. Our good friends (Matt Fry and family) went with us, so us girls got the beds in the trailer and the boys stayed out in a tent. Our journey began in the lovely traffic over Snoqualmie Pass. It usually takes about 3 hours to get to Ellensburg, but oh no, not this time. It took us 51/2 hours to get there. There were cars overheating left and right on the shoulders. Thank goodness Sophia was a trooper..we kept feeding her fruit snacks, haha. We took a break in Ellensburg about 8:30pm to have dinner and met up with Matt and his family. We got to our campsite about 11:30pm. Nothin like setting up a tent in the dark. TJ looked dead sexy with his headlight on !The next day the team had 2 games so we went and cheered them on. We played at the park, ate chips (Sophia is a big fan of Baked Lays), blew bubbles, and played with balls while we were at the field. After the games we went to enjoy the lake, except for Sophia did not enjoy the water...not like the water??? So not my daughter! And she's in this phase of not liking grass on her bare feet so we hung out in our swimsuits on a towel. On Sunday the guys had a 9:10am game with a single elimination. Let's just say they lost with style (quite entertaining). But kinda good for the rest of us because we had the whole rest of the day. We went to "Surf in Slide" Water Park. It is smaller than Wild Waves but still really fun. Sophia's favorite thing was the small water fountains and my favorite thing was watching people biff while trying to surf. I hope you enjoyed the video of Zac (TJ's brother) and then TJ attempting to surf! Great weekend with 80 degree weather...Great company...Loved it! Now the count down is definitely on till summer!

Super fun! I'm glad Sophia decided to like the water at the water park!

TJ is such a stud on that surfboard! Wooooo! :) And don't fret, Darby = not a fan of the water either (oceans, lakes)! And every morsel of sand or blade of grass that gets on her feet is announced to the world, let me tell you. She doesn't mind our little kiddie pool though, thank goodness ;) Glad you had fun! Sorry about the traffic!!

Lucky ducks! I wish it were cool enough around here to camp and have fun-it's already 105. Barf. Sophia is getting so big and so adorable. I can't believe the last time I saw her she was just a newborn. We need to get together-we're coming up to Washington for the whole month of August. Girls lunch anyone?! :)
