Home From Tournament

So we got back Sunday night from Southern Utah and somehow it has taken days to unpack and get things back in order, if that's ever really possible around here.  But we had TONS of fun while we were gone.  The tourney went "well".  I guess I should say R played really well (as always) but again, not the number of wins we wanted.  Someone said, "you must have gotten in a really tough pool."  I think they are right, they did play some of the best teams but in the end people usually just look at W's and L's.  And we had our fair share of L's.  But....... I loved seeing R back on the field!  He played 3rd base, 1st and did a great job pitching.  And he didn't strike out once!!  Very proud of him.  Here are the game pics.

T, A and L loved playing with all the other kids during the games.  L especially loved being able to follow the big kids every where.  And I loved that the weather was beautiful, in the 70's, sunny and perfect.  When we got hot or tired you could find us under our umbrella.

And after the games L was very happy to rest on the bed at the hotel and watch her favorite shows on tv.

After all the games were over we made the drive to Zion National Park.  We had fun hiking to a few different places and driving through the tunnel in the mountain several times. 

This bridge was a little scary to walk over!!!

And now we are home and 3 of us have colds and L has a terrible cough and an ear infection in both ears.  Poor girl.  But we had a great time and everyone "traveled" great.  I'm proud of R and how he played.  After the first day of games there were some tears and frustration but he got several compliments on the second day about his pitching which made him feel good.  T, A and L were great sports driving all over for this.  And as we have just received the regular season schedule we feel the craziness begin!
