Stars v. Gatlinburg

-


For the second season Finn has played on the North Nashville Stars Team.  They are not a travel team, so most of their tournaments are local.  This year, their coach scheduled one travel tournament in Gatlinburg.  The boys had a pretty good season all around, but they hadn't won a tournament until this tournament.  It was really exciting.  They beat a couple of teams that they had lost to before in order to win the whole thing. Finn played well and he was really proud of himself. 






Because the last day of the tournament was such a long day, I stayed at the hotel with Sam and Will and let them swim for a while. 




Team dinner.





The first day of the tournament didn't start until later in the afternoon.  Grandad and Gigi took Sam and Will to Dollywood. Michael, Finn and I had breakfast together and walked around Gatlinburg.







Our first night we stopped at Ol' Reds.  They had live music.  Will hated every second of it. Do not be fooled by his smile. 



After the tournament was over, Grandad and Gigi took all of the boys to Dollywood.

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl...

The Fourth of July

Well the Begley clan had a pretty big Fourth of July celebration. Finn and I started the day by making a quick run to Wal-Mart to pick up some oatmeal. Then we got ready for our day with with Emily, Zac, Coop, Hank, Nana and Papa. We all met over at Em's house for a little playing, a little swimming and a lot of eating. When we first got there we all sat upstairs and watched the boys play in Cooper's playroom. Finn was absolutely amazed at all the toys. Then we decided to go to the pool. After getting the boy lathered up, we all loaded in the back of Zac's truck like the Clampetts and headed to the pool. With respect to those who would rather not be seen in a bathing suit on the blog, I have omitted the swimming pictures. We didn't get to swim too terribly long because it started looking like it was going to storm so we were only out for an hour. Once we got back home we had dinner. Greg made the best ribs I have ever put in my mouth. To end the evening Finn an...

High Ankle Sprain

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.
