Weekend trip

It's been awhile since I've updated the blog...we just really haven't been doing much that is photo worthy ;) As of Thursday, the school year finally ended for me! Woo-hoo! Our first summer adventure was a trip to Roanoke for a racquetball tournament. Andy and his assistant, Isaac, started playing racquetball several months ago and thoroughly enjoy the challenge. They thought it would be fun to see how well they would do against people who have been playing for years (and seem to take it way to seriously;) ). They ended up winning!!! The two underdogs who haven't even been playing for a year...won! Can you tell I'm proud:)
We had a great time in Roanoke visiting friends and just getting summer started off in the right way. Here are some pictures...

This picture was taken a week ago - we bought Alley some sidewalk chalk for her to play with...she enjoyed it for a second...I think mommy enjoyed it more;)
Alley completely absorbed in a book at Barnes & Noble - just like her mommy:) We needed to waste some time while waiting for Andy to play, so this place was great!
Alley's first bubble bath while in Roanoke...she loved it, but couldn't stop "eating" the bubbles...While driving around (wasting time again) we found a garden with paths and water fountains...so we got out and looked around...here we are sitting still for a split second:)Looking at the fish, who went into hiding when Alley came around...they must already know her!Sniffing flowers...we're still working on her not eating flowers and leaves...why does everything look like food to her?!!walking along the stonesHere she was hiding from us in the hotel room, between our bed and the wall...and she got stuck...it was actually funny to watch:)
All in all we had a great time:) We are all exhausted (I'm sure Andy is more than we are) and very happy to be at home...we've got just a few days to enjoy home before we're off again on our next trip!!! Can't wait;)
