Road trip!

the Graffiti rock
Originally uploaded by trippykel

J and I took a little road trip last Sunday to visit Tumbler Ridge - there was a competition at the skatepark. So we loaded up the car with skateboards, skate kids, helmets, and snacks, and headed out.

On the way there we passed what we call 'graffiti mountain'. This rock face is crumbling, and full of people's bombs & tags. Not many are well done, but it's still fun.

We also got to visit Steve & Taeya and hang out for a bit, since they were in the area as well!

It was raining as we drove to TR, but the sky cleared up just in time for the competition. None of our boys placed, but they had a good time & enjoyed the chance to test out a new park. Hooray!

Last night we had Jer & Britt over for a big ol' pasta dinner. There was an open house next door, and we went to check it out after eating - anybody want a fully renoed home? It's going for something like $275,000 and is pretty nicely redone . But you'd have to want to be our neighbor too ;)

We also watched Blades of Glory (Will Ferrell, the Napoleon Dynamite guy take on figure skating). It had some funny parts, but I wouldn't exactly reccommend it to anyone - too much *blech* stuff in it. Boo.

Oh, and... Hanson is touring again! Yay! The downside is that the closest stop to us would be either LA or Tulsa (each roughly 1 day & 8 hour drive by Google). Aah, maybe next tour...
