This weekend we participated in our first ever curling tournament, which is called a Bonspiel.  We were fortunate enough to play inside the World Arena, in Colorado Springs, which is home to many Olympic athletes.  The tournament was a 4 game minimum guarantee, with the Championship matches happening as I type this.  :-)  We had a good run, went 2-2, lost in the semi-final match in the last end.  We have only been playing as a team for two curling seasons, so we walked away very confident in our curling abilities against some more seasoned teams.  I was able to bring “the big camera” down for a few actions shots, but first up is the other half of our team, Mark and Karen!  You two are such a blast to curl with…we hope to play in many Bonspiels together in the future!!

This past weekend, me, my sister and several girlfriends headed down to Pullman, WA, home of the Washington State University Cougars.  I hadn’t been to Wazzu in over 8 years, so it was most definitely time for a visit.  Our first stop was to Sella’s, which HANDS DOWN makes the BEST bread twists in the USA.  After our lunch, we did a little shopping and got some great Wazzu gear!

Then, we headed to the WSU Women’s Football clinic, which consisted of some drinking, a football player fashion show, a tour of the new football stadium additions, then a break-out session of offensive and defensive drills.  It was SO MUCH FUN!!  This will most definitely be an annual tradition!  Might have to actually spend the night next time.

I didn’t want to bring my big camera with me, so you get a collage of cell-phone pics from the trip.  Enjoy!

We rounded out our vacation with a photo-shoot of the boys (PICTURES POSTED SOON!), Easter at Rawhide, where the kids got sworn in as town Sheriff’s, which was just as cool as being a GC Park Ranger!  We also hit up the Arizona Science Center and Dbacks opening day at Chase Field!  I didn’t want to lug around my camera to the Dbacks game, so you get the joy of looking at a cell phone collage below.  Oh, one more thing…we went to The Great and Powerful Oz movie to pass the time while we waited for our flight and didn’t make it through it…Ryland got scared when one of the witches turned into the wicked-witch, so we left.  Just when it was gettin’ good, too!  :-)
