Last weekend we headed to Tuscaloosa for Maddie's second competition. Nonna came to Memphis so she could ride with us. It is a four hour drive and the kids were great. They are great car riders. Unfortunately, Turner's tablet was stepped on and broken sometime on the way. Thank goodness for warranties, because he loves his tablet!
We booked the hotel we stayed in mostly because it had an indoor heated pool. The kids were pumped about swimming and I bought Harper a new suit for the trip. The heater was broken and the kids lasted about 10 minutes:( We decided to get ready for dinner and ate at Baumhauers. It was a neat restaurant and everyone ate good. After dinner we actually went to McDonalds to let the kids play for a bit. They had been in the car too long that day!
We went back to the room and got everyone ready for bed. Maddie and Turner slept in N onna's room and Harper stayed with us. We wanted everyone well rested. The next morning we had the free continental breakfast and began getting ready. We had to be at the gym by 11:30 to get ready for the meet. I love all the girls amd moms on the team. We have made some good friends over the year and we are all having fun.
Maddie had a great meet! She scored higher in every event than she did her first one. She placed third on beam, 4th or 5th in the others, and finished 4th overall. She was proud of herself and we were proud of her! Her team won 1st place overall! She looks so confident out there and she is learning so much more than gymnastics. It was a long day for Turner and Harper but they did pretty good. I think it is important that they all learn how to support each other. They will all be taking turns watching each other in their activities.
After the meet we headed home. It was about 9:30 before we got there. It was a quick weekend trip, but a fun one. Nonna made the trip much easier by helping entertain the kids. It takes a village I tell y'all!!
