Weekend wrap up

In the last post, I mentioned that both SLHS teams headed off to the State tournament in Spokane. Unfortunately, both teams lost two games in a row and were out of the tournament. It was a great accomplishment just getting there again, and was fun to follow the action from a distance. Maybe they have started something...

Last night we had a night out with friends. A group of 10 headed out on the town. The intent was to find a country bar and try some country dancing. For 8 of us, this is a major stretch...but the Doerrs are the Pros, so were looking for some guidance. The one challenge was finding a country bar. The Pros had been to the well known "Riverside" in Tukwila so we decided to head that direction. We grabbed dinner at a restaurant across the street at a small Italian place and had a "Little Italy" experience, then headed over to the Riverside....but there was one small problem....The "Riverside" was now a full-on Casino and there was not even an ounce of country bar there anymore. So, that made us head north to what I learned is the one and only country bar in the Seattle city limits, The Little Red Hen in Greenlake. This was a very interesting experience. It was totally packed, very difficult to get a drink, and no place to sit....sounds fun, eh? Well, it actually was. We waited in the lines, pushed our way around and huddled around the Pool Table. With some encouragement and help from the Pros, a number of us got out on the dance floor and did a little 2-step. We had a great time and cant wait to do it again.

Today we started out heading to Church where Maddie sang as part of Lutheran Schools Sunday. It was really cool to see the church packed with all the school families, kids, etc. After church we headed over to Grandma Cook's to pack them up for another move. A few months ago, they got pushed out of their apartment as they were converted to Condos. They found a small condo just a block away from us, but then recently found a new apartment close to the WS Junction. Here is a picture from their deck.....we were joking that they will be able to watch the Hi-Yu parade from their deck this summer.
