State Tournament

We just got home from the state tournament. The sr. girls did not do very well..lost their first game which was not expected. We went up on Wednesday after school and the girls played Thursday at 4 pm. We stayed in a brand new hotel, the Fairfield Inn and Suites, which was actually really nice. We had a suite so when I woke up earlier than Marty and the kids I could sneak into the living room area and lay on the couch and watch tv for a little peace and quiet before the rush of the day started. It was nice to have the extra room for our little mini-vacation. We always enjoy the state tournament week and I hate the girls lost..Carson cried of course even though it wasn't Marty's team. He said, we had our whole weekend planned! It was too funny!

There was an indoor pool and last night the kids swam with some of the girls and had a blast! They played a game where the kids all made a line and the girl in the front had to swim backwards through all their legs...of course half the time everyone fell down and they all laughed hysterically! It was a great time watching them all. Jackie and I sat out by the pool and it is so funny seeing our kids play with these teenage girls who are so good with the kids and even though they lost they can relax and have a good time. Here are some pics I took...the lighting in there combined with my phone's camera wasn't the greatest but you'll get the idea. I also took some pictures of Gracen's spirit pants. Jacynda made Gracen these pants for her to wear like all the "big girls" have been wearing lately to the games. The front says Gracen and Sr. 2018 (Can't even believe she will be a Senior in 9 years!!!!!!!!!) and the back says I Love Coach Smith (of course! ;)) and Go Trojans! She was thrilled with the pants!!!
