This past weekend was a whirlwind! Friday the kids were out of school and had a party at church that night. It was a party for all ages and gave the parents a chance to have an epic date night! It had been way too long for us and we thoroughly enjoyed a sushi dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. It was a win for everybody!
Saturday morning Turner had his last basketball game and awards. He has so enjoyed playing and can't wait for the next season. Every player got a new basketball and he loves it. We are glad he has found an activity that he enjoys and looks forward to doing. Next up is soccer for him and M.
As soon as that was over we hopped in the car to head to St. Louis. Turner decided to stay with Mimi and Boo Boo this trip. These car rides with such a short stay in between are wearing on him:) We had big plans though once we got there. We met up with Nay Nay and Tucker at the AG store and ate California Pizza for dinner.
It was great spending time with them and the girls really enjoyed the store. Maddie has never been a big doll lover, but she had McKenna with her and picked out a few things. Harper, on the other hand, loves babies/dolls and had a ball in there. It was a perfect time to go since Turner had stayed in Memphis.
We got back to the hotel around 9:30, and got everyone ready for bed. Maddie's meet didn't start till 2 on Sunday so I knew we could sleep in. Harper slept till 9!! Maddie woke up not much earlier than that. Maddie was kind of in a funk and doing a lot of coughing. We gave her a breathing treatment and figured this probably wouldn't be her best meet. She just seemed off to us. We checked out, grabbed some Hardees, and headed to the meet.
Nay Nay and Tucker met us there. It costs money to go to these meets, it was Valentine's weekend, and they spent most of the weekend with us. We were beyond thrilled and it made the trip...for all of us!! Harper has been talking about Nay Nay as if she used to keep her:) So thankful for this friendship and hope so much time doesnt pass before we can hang out again.
Maddie had another good meet. She started on beam which had us nervous, because that has been her weakest event. She ended up with a 9.45 and placed 1st in beam. It was a beautiful routine. She also scored 9.45 on vault and bars, which landed her a 2nd and 5th place medal. Her floor was a 9.25 and she didn't place. This was by far her toughest competition. There were some really high scores and she had 3 personal best scores that day. She tied for 1st in the All Around.
As soon as awards were over and we laid hands hands on her....it was say goodbye and get out the door as fast as possible. Snow was headed our way and we prayed we could make it home that night. It was 11 before we pulled in the garage and there was ice all over our van...but we made it! And we already knew school was out the next day.
Winter storm post up next!
