Our Weekend Adventure

This past weekend we traveled up to Worland, WY to watch the Kemmerer girls and boys basketball teams play in the regional tournament. The girls won their first game, but lost their next two so they are not going to the state tournament. Josey's pretty bummed, but they had their best season in years, or so I hear. And he's looking forward to track starting next week, once he gets all the "what ifs" of basketball season out of his head. He's the head track coach this year, but he's having a hard time getting kids interested in coming out. I hope it goes well for him.

Lyle & Jan traveled down for the weekend too, so we got to spend some time with them. I think they miss Arielle a lot! Luckily they got a hotel room in Thermopolis that had some mineral pools so we got to take the kids swimming in warm water that felt great. We stayed with Josey in a stinky motel room. Luckily the motel had a good continental breakfast.

I forgot to bring my camera this weekend, but we had some really funny moments, thanks to my kids, who really drive me crazy, but are hilarious at the same time. (And thanks to Arielle, who finds the things they do and say very humorous, even when I'm ready to stop the car and throw them out.) One night we went to dinner at a little cafe. We walked in and the place reeked of cigarette smoke and something else really stinky. Jordan takes a big whiff and says, "Mmm, smells good!" He's so weird!! I still laugh when I think about that. And to top that off, there was an ashtray sitting outside of our motel room, and of course he'd seen the lady staying next to us chain-smoking nonstop, so he decided to give it a try. Gross!
