Yay for Family!

Steph moved to Washington and I am so so so happy to have her close by.  She'll be busy with school but it is so nice to know we are only a short drive away from each other.  We went to see her not to long ago.  Here's some pics.

Steph showed us around Poulsbo - so cute!

We were there for the blackberry fest so we made sure to enjoy some blackberry pie and vanilla ice cream.

The Dixby Cup

Our brother-in-laws Jeromy and Joel have had a long-time running golf tournament at each of the Rhyasen reunions.  Since Joel wasn't at the last reunion, they made special arrangements for the golf tournament to be held at a different time and place this year. They held it at Chamber's Bay in Tacoma and Mike got to join in on the fun for the big event.  Mike did a great job, coming in second place. It was such a nice day and the guys were troopers, golfing 5 hours in the sun.  I, on the other hand was perfectly happy with the girls and kids just hanging out at the park, eating ice cream, and enjoying the weather.

A view of the course - check it out in the 2015 U.S. Open.

Joel came home with the cup and as you can see he couldn't have been happier.
