We checked the kids out of school early Friday and headed to Tuscaloosa for M's second meet. Mimi and Boo Boo joined is. Though it was a quick trip, the kids had fun. We stopped on the way and at lunch at Mi Pueblos. A Mexican buffet...yes please! It was the quietest Harper was all weekend. She ate chips and cheese dip for a good 20 minutes nonstop! Daddy was the most impressed with the buffet and everyone was happy.
We checked in around 4 and immediately the kids put on their swimsuits. Nothing like an indoor pool in the winter. Harper had talked about "swimming in Alabama" for days. She had on her floaties and everyone was excited. We got a cute pic of the 3 of them in the pool. Kev and I stopped to admire the pic on his phone.....and Maddie dunked Harper. No more swimming for her. We were so mad at her! Harper ran around the pool and eventually sat on the stairs, but she never got back on. Hoping she is over it by the time we head to the beach this summer!
Turner swam like a champ and loved it. The acoustics in the room were great....my kids are SO LOUD. Thankfully, we were alone most of the time.
We got them out of the pool and got ready for dinner. We ate at Baumhauwers with Mimi and Boo Boo and headed back to the hotel. We had to be at the gym at 7:30 Saturday morning. T slept with Mimi and Boo Boo and the girls stayed with us.
We woke up at 6 the next morning and had breakfast at the hotel. We love a hotel with a complimentary breakfast! We got everyone ready, checked out, and made it to the gym on time.
Mo had her best meet yet. I am so glad that my parents were there to see her. We hate Nonna wasn't there. She placed 1st on bars, beam, and floor, and 2nd on vault with a 9.4. She was 1st in the all around and actually placed 1st overall out of all the girls in her session. What an accomplishment for her!! We are so proud of her and are so glad that all her hard work is paying off. I think my favorite part of these meets is watching her cheer on her friends and hearing her friends cheer for her. It melts my heart.
After the meet, we headed to Cypress Inn for lunch before heading home. It had a beautiful view of the lake and the food was delicious! Mimi had wanted to eat there the night before and the wait was too long. I am so glad we were able to eat there for lunch.
It was a good trip, but we were tired once we got home. 2 down, 5 more to go!
This week a birthday party is on the agenda. T is turning 6 soon and a nerf gun party is in his future. Looking forward to celebrating him!
