A Lacross game in Hood River

Ellie and Lily had a Lacross game in Hood River and I offered to ride with Dina so Jamie and Scott could stay and work at the new yogurt store...We had a nice sunny day...not particularly warm, but sunny and a little windy.  The girls won their game, I think Ellie scored 7 points herself!!  She is a great little athlete.  Lily is also a great athlete, but doesn't always play the position to be able to score.  Fortunately, I brought my winter coat, and although the sky was blue and the sun was out, the wind made it cold, we were bundled up with coats and blankets, but surely enjoyed the day out in the sun.

We decided to go down to the Columbia River when the game was over and watch a little kite-boarding...we had never seen that before and it was quite intriguing.  Dina and I were thinking these people were crazy to choose to be in the river and get wet when we were all bundled up trying to stay warm!!  The kids even took off their shoes and went into the river and played for a short time in the sand...all in all it was a very good day with the three Snook kids and afterwards we stopped at the Claim Jumper for dinner...what really helped the drive was a DVD player in the car and some good DVD's with headphones for the kiddos...Dina and I actually had some conversations without interruptions...it was awesome!
