Finally

Well this past weekend my sweet cousin, Laurie and her daughter Leah, came up to Yakima for a visit. It was SO NICE to finally have someone visit. I have to tell you that it has been really hard not having any family visit! We have lived here for almost 2 years. Well we had so much fun with them. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the greatest but we did make it to the park one afternoon and we went for a nice walk on the greenway. Isaac wasn't too fond of the walk since I brought his scooter and not his bike, but I still enjoyed the fresh air. Laurie introduced us to the Just Dance game for the Wii. We played it on Friday for quite some time and both of us were sore the next day. Of course that didn't stop us from playing several times on Saturday and Sunday before we had to head to the airport. The best part of the game has been watching Gary dance too. He has totally taken me by surprise and is really good. He even beat Laurie and I a couple of times. I just want to thank Laurie for coming and I had a great time. Thanks for the See's too!

White Pass

This past weekend we headed up to the local ski resort and did some sightseeing and enjoyed some tubing. They had some great creatures carved in the snow along with a big Ice Castle that you could sled/tube from. Of course we got half way there when I asked Gary if he remembered the sled and of course that was one item left behind. At least I had all the snow gear for all 4 of us! I haven't been to a ski resort since Gary and I were dating and it brought back all my fun memories of doing the ski team growing up. We met up with some friends while there and she helps coach the ski team. Other than realizing how expensive it would be I would love to do that every weekend. They even had a childcare area so the parents could ski - now that's a great idea! Here are some fun photos of White Pass.




On the way home we stopped at the Elk Reserve and enjoyed watching them for a while. Isaac thought the binoculars were the coolest part of the stop. They don't look very big in the pictures but some of the antlers on the elk were huge!
