Sunny St. George

Well, last week we hit the road to head to SUNNY St. George for another marvelous Baseball Tournament!!

We were lucky enough to have both boys participating in "March Madness" this year...which meant EIGHT Games in 2 Days! (YES!!! We discovered it is a very fitting tournament name!) Reed is playing with the Salem Skyhawks and Coleman with the Sugar Kings.

We try to make the most of these adventures...so everyone in the family feels like there was something worthwhile in it for them!! Ice cream from the Cheese Factory in Beaver is always a good way to start feeling like a trip is worthwhile!!

Just getting away from our "crazy" life at home
was enough for me...

but as you can see
I didn't exactly escape the "crazies" IN my life!

Reed did great during his games. He mostly plays short stop and some outfield. He had a nice hit and was glad to be back out on the baseball field. He has a great group of boys on his team and is happy to have one last chance with his Dad to be his baseball coach! It's hard to believe this is his last season playing in RMSB...he hopes to be ready for the Freshman team next year!!

Coleman is on a bigger size field this year with the added chance to "Lead Off". He did a good job during the tournament mostly playing 2nd Base and outfield. He also had some nice hits. He really likes his new team and they are a good group of ball players. It should be a fun season for him!!
But seriously...what isn't "FUN" for Coleman??

Even with the busy baseball schedule...we managed to get a little POOL TIME in for the girls!!
"A little something for everyone"...that's our theme!!

And it is even better when "EVERYONE" includes some cousins!!

I think David and Lisa look very comfortable with the whole group...maybe next year Jug and I can stay home!!

Unfortunately, on trips like this you can't help but to occasionally end up eating at Mickey D's dollar menu! Jug enjoys cornering the kids and then squishing into them at these booths!!

Here are the ever supportive sisters!!
The sunshine and blue sky were Heavenly!!

Of course girls aren't going to watch baseball the WHOLE time...so what do they do?
Catch AND Sell Lizards!! This little guy went for $4!!
Funny...but a true story!!All good things must come to an end...so we ended with good company and good food at the new St. George Brick Oven!
Look at these kids...they can still stand in line oldest being the tallest and youngest being the shortest! (shhh...Don't look to close at Abbie and Cody!)Thanks boys...we wouldn't have done this without you!!
Good luck with the rest of your seasons...and don't forget to
WORK HARD and PLAY HARD!!
