Spring Break

Well unlike most people, our Spring Break was pretty low key. We relaxed, watched all 3 X-men (thanks to the Emery's), hung out with friends, I worked 4 days, which was a record!!! and we went back to Tri-Cities for a few days. It was our first time going back to Richland, for no specific event, and for more than just a night. It was so relaxing. I'm the type of person that if I am at home there is always something to do, so getting away forces me to relax. We sure got some royal treatment. Here are some pics before we set out for the SE Washington Desert.

Ali & I showing off our masterpieces...strawberry margarita's, virgin, of course, before watching Mike's favorite movie, 'The Producers'

Matt & Mike looking a bit feminine with their fruity drinks

Russ & Mike enjoying Wally World after our delicious meal at Tucano's

When we first arrived we had a delicious meal of cordon bleu (Mike's request) that Peggy made from scratch, which were scrumptious! The next day was running around day, taken it easy and visiting with G-pa Ace ( I really have the biggest crush on him). That night we had to watch Kansas play Michigan State. Steve & Tiki invited us over for dinner, Swedish meatballs are quite delicious. They were a first for me. And visited with our niece, Lola & nephew, Ollie.

Steve & Lola just cuddling on the couch. She is such a lover.

Lola is a great dog, she lets Steve hang her on her head and everything. She is a chicken though, scared of the flash on the camera. What a girl?

Ollie & Tiki hanging out playing fetch in the house he loves to run & play. Poor Kansas loosing in the background :( Mike's heart was broken.

On saturday after breakfast at McDonald's that Mike's family does every week without fail, we went to Bree & Trason's for crafting, visiting & lunch.

While Bree & I were making our Chic Sheep, our bi-annual tradition to craft together and catch up with each other, Mike watched baby Bryson. What a great father in the making!

Oh are we nerds or what!!! We had a great time!

The ultimate excursion was the Bowling Tournament. Apparently Peg & Alan were on a league back in the day and put both couples up for a challenge. The loser bought dessert. We had our secret weapons...Grandpa Ace, who will be 95 in June has 2 bowling balls from when he played on a league and has since retired to he gave them to us in these classic 70's bags. Mike's is even initialed. what a great heirlume (sp?). It was great when we hauled these into the ghetto Pasco Bowling Alley. We looked official. Here are some pics.


Mike showing off our secret weapons...did it make us win...unfortunately not!

Tiki displaying her ultimate FLAMER bowling shoes. Wow are those hot stuff!

The Davis Boys, except for Mark, he would have been too much competition

And the instigators of it all Alan & Peggy
By the way, The parents won and they still bought us dessert a 3 Margarita's, we had our favorite...deep fried ice cream. I think they know we are tight with cashola, but someday we will treat you. We had a great time!!!
