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.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

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.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
