A weekend adventure!

It was another VanDalen road trip and this time we brought reinforcements....Guela!! The logistics of this day were insane...however we were able to pull it off! The day started with having to get Jake and Taiji to their games at 8:00am....I went to go get my hair done at 8:00 (I know a little high maintenance...but when you have a stylist like Melissa...you get in when she can get you in) anyways...Truman had to get up so that in case Kali woke up an adult (or adult like figure) would be available. After hair I headed to Jake and Taiji's game....then it was back to Lynden to get Truman to LC to catch the bus to Seattle Christian game....grab Kali and head to Jake and Taiji's second game at 11:00. Once they won their 2nd game we grabbed Guela loaded up the car and headed down south to watch Truman's games. We got there in time to watch the C team. He played great and they won...however he only played 2 quarters so that he could play 2 quarters of JV but we need to be to a dinner in Bellevue....so Guela drove us to our hotel with Kali in tow. We stayed and got ready and had a ride in place to pick us up. Guela headed back to Seattle Christian to get the rest of the crew. We had a great time at our dinner and LC swept Seattle Christian. Guela came back to the hotel to hold down the fort, swimming, xboxing, and snacking. Kali thought that this was her perfect world....Hotel, brothers, swimming, guela and hotel...I know I said that twice...but this girl LOVES a hotel!! We all fell into bed around midnight and slept in...after a frustrating but delicious trip to IHOP it was off to Uwajima (SP?) our favorite Asian market....once stocked up we were homeward bound. WOW that was a mouth full....and a weekend full, but we had a great time and can't wait for the next adventure!! Truman d-ing it up!!
