Mother's Day Picnic

Mother's Day Out!

One of my Mother's Day wishes was to --- Get out and do something... anything really! So we met up with Rory's mom (AKA Grandma Bear) and my parents (AKA Nanny and Poppy) in Gig Harbor. They have a nice new out door shopping center (for lack of a better name). We had fun walking around and we ate at one of my favorite places Panera Bread.

We had a lovely time. Unfortunately I didn't get any shots of Nanny and Poppy. We really should have taken a picture of all the moms together. Next time!

Tether Ball King

The past two years we have held a tournament called Elementary Games as a youth group fundraiser. The whole church splits up into teams and plays each other in four square, tether ball and wall ball. Then there is a church wide dodge ball game. Along with this being a fundraiser... this is also a chance for Rory to play one of his favorite sports... Tether ball.

I am not kidding when I say this. Rory REALLY likes to play Tether ball. This is actually the third, maybe fourth time he has set up a Tether ball tournament. He is still the reigning Tether ball King... but as you can see it was a very close game. Check out these videos, they are pretty entertaining. Listen for what Cecily tells her daddy while he is playing.
