Go, Daddy, Go! GRAND Basketball

A mini-family trip to GRAND Forks was in store for us this weekend.

Right after school, we packed in the car and drove North. We went to support Brett in his first game of the Grand Am Basketball Tournament. He is a pretty amazing ball player, I must say! The whole game was so close- back and forth by a point or two. Unfortunately, the other team got a really lucky 3-point streak at the end and won. But it was fun to watch him play. Way to go, Honey!

The kids and I got to watch from the front row of the stands. (the bottom part of the arena was closed) It was really fun because Liberty had brought paper and some markers. She made tons of posters for us to hold up and cheer on Dad! Go, Daddy, Go! Brett had the best cheerleaders there, by far! LOL At half-time, we got popcorn for the kids. They thought it was the best night ever!

Before heading home, we decided to stop for dinner. McDonald's with a Playland was our goal. Easier said than done, unfortunately. Thank goodness for the GPS! It took us 4 "new destinations" before we found one that fit our criteria. A little scenic drive through Grand Forks was an added bonus. LOL Well worth it though! The kids had a fantastic time. Yeah! Thanks for the BBall Adventure, Brett!

Packer Basketball Camp

Every year, we sign Justice up for the Packer Basketball Camp. It goes Monday through Thursday from 9 to 10:15 at the Junior High gym. They have a bunch of the High School Basketball Players come and help coach. I think it might be a fundraiser for them or something. I asked Justice what he wanted me to say about the Camp. He said: "I didn't learn anything (because he already knew all of it) but I just played basketball. We did Pivots. I defended. I helped people when they got hurt. I shot baskets a long, long, long time. At the end, I got a ribbon, a basketball and a waterbottle. I had fun!"
Brett got to come on the last day. It meant a lot to Justice. (Thanks Honey!) He said Justice was great in defense. Too bad they didn't do an award for that. But it's a lot of fun to watch him get better every year.

Way to go Justice!

Crazy Driver

One title that Mom's are often known for is the Crazy Taxi Cab Driver. Well, today- I earned that title. We signed the kids up for a couple things this Summer and they ALL started to day. Oops! So, no more 10 o'clock sleepins. Dang! Here's my crazy driving schedule for the week:

A. Get people up WAY earlier than normal.

B. Get Liberty to the Native Amercian Art Class at Westside by 8:15 am

C. Then, Justice to Cheney for Packer Basketball Camp by 9:00 am

D. Uptown to the Train Depot to sign Victoria up for Summer Playground Camp

E. Drop Victoria late to Village West Park for Summer Playground Camp that started at 9:00 am

F. Back to Cheney to watch and pick up Brother by 10 am.

G. Back to Westside by 11:15 am to pick up Liberty.

H. Over to Cudneys who luckily picked up Victoria for us since Camp's over at 11:30.

I. Back home to say hi to Dad before he took off out of town.

Whew! I'm exhausted just typing about it! Gotta love the Titles that Mom's get to carry! Luckily it's for only a week. Hopefully, I survive. LOL!
