Ryan, Ally & Makinlee DeClerck: New Year, new Adventures

I've been a total blog slacker lately. To much else going on and not enough down time to talk about life. That and i haven't really done much that was picture worthy. Well, New Years eve we were at Bushwhackers as usual for a weekend. Ross and Myra came down, it was a good time. busy night and Ryan actually danced with me which was nice. Good going on the camera there Ross,

This last weekend me and some girlfriends went up to Seattle for the night. There used to be a lacross team in Portland called the Lumberjacks. Well at the end of last season the team was disbanded and the players were all picked up by different teams. For those of you who don't know much about lacross, your not alone cause neither do i. For the most part lacross players are Canadian. which is really fun, but most of the teams that play in this league are in Canada. There is a team in Seattle, well actually its Everett but close enough. a lot of the boys who used to be jax's players went to play for the Washington Stealth and then there were a bunch who went to play for the Edmonton Rush. so theses two teams full of old Jax's players played each other in seattle on Friday night. So us girls, as lacross fans, went up to the game.

All Jax'd up and ready for the game. Tia, me, Annette, and L'Erin

The start of the game, or what happens every time a team scores. its a lot like the tip off in basketball except with sticks.

Some random players, doin some random play.

After the game the players come up to the Ice Box and do a meet and great and sign autographs and just basically hang out with the fans. we had a great time at the game and the Washington Stealth won 15 to 7 i think. The motto of the game "its like hockey but with Balls"

On Saturday we went to Seattle and played around. Went to the Space needle and walked around the EMP.

Side note about this picture. the camera was put on timer mode and set on top of a trash can and i ran to get in the picture. On of my famous "self portraits". Who needs to ask strangers to take pictures. We don't.

Next we went to Pike Place Market and wondered around. I tell ya Seattle is almost as bad as San Fran with the hills. I am so glad i was not driving a stick shift car. We would have been Screwed! The guys at the fish market tried to make us kiss the fish, EWW gross! lots of funny shops and people all over the place. This random dude was doing a street show on a uni cycle trying to juggle knives. I didn't want to get to close.

Gross fish.

A look down the hall at the market.

We were about to cross the street to go to this little cafe when a women stops us to ask if we know if she can park here. you look up to the street sign, and there is no way to figure out how to answer this poor women. there were 5 different signs on the pole all talking about parking.
