Hoopfest 2009

So, apparently, Spokane hosts the world's largest 3 on 3 basketball tournament! They close the entire downtown area and dedicate it to two days of street-style basketball!

This was our first time going to the event - I hope it becomes tradition!

Eric volunteered to help tape ankles in the first-aid/physical therapy tent.

The PT team taped over 150 people's ankles in the tent while he was there!

I just love this photo :)

This was our favorite team, the Dogbones.

They were hilarious!! Notice their cutoff sweatshirts, tight stretch pants, head and wristbands, false mustaches and keds! They brought a boombox and played the Footloose soundtrack. They also had an Igloo cooler with Tab to drink. When one of them made a 3-point shot, they all ran over and tickled him! It was so funny!!

We were instant fans, even starting a popular trend of getting their autographs.

She says she'll keep them until they are worth money :D

10 Years Old!!

We took a best good friend to Red Robin with us to celebrate.
She enjoyed the fuss :)

AND the sundae!

I think they both enjoyed it

A lot!

Then we visited the Big Red Wagon

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Fishing at Hawk Creek

This was such a fun road! Well-named, since it was like a roller coaster! She read "Necklace of Raindrops" to us on the way.

Before they fell to sleep :)

Sassy as ever!

What a sweetie.

Both the kids skewered worms onto my hook for me! I am loved :)

We didn't catch any fish, but it was fun.

Spokane Falls

Some very good friends of ours

And no one fell in!

I love this photo

Riverpoint Campus

We had a lot of fun posing for photos!

We miss you!!

This reminds me a little of some photos we have in Japan together :)

What perfect angels!!

Eric gives a tour of the Anatomy Lab

For some reason, Miss Thang loves the skeletons! She dances with them :)

Eric gives a little demo of what anatomy lab is like. He's so cool!

I Graduated!!

Loved ones come to celebrate!
