The kid and I travelled to Hermiston on Saturday, February 17th for another AAU tournament. We stayed with my parents in the Tri-Cities, and Logan got to have quite the crowd to cheer him on. I think he was a little nervous because he didn't play very well in the game that Papa Berries, Bob and Tona came to watch. But the rest of the games he played great. My mom and dad and Amy, Thomas, Alyson, and Mylee all watched several games and Samee and Nate drove down on Sunday but couldn't find the school we were playing at so they ended up just driving back home...that was a bummer!! I'm pleased to say that Wenatchee 5th Graders ended up winning the tournament--CHAMPIONS!! This was our first championship of the year.
Dave was at a training in Seattle so he couldn't come on Saturday so he left a little note for Logan. Unable to stay away, he drove to Hermiston on Sunday morning.
We noticed that the 5th grade Pasco team had a Legard playing and my mom and dad were able to figure out that he was the son of Dan Legard (my mom's third cousin). He had such nice parents and was so polite. I asked if I could get a picture of Ethan and Logan together, and even after Pasco lost to us, Ethan smiled and was kind to Logan. I think we'll be playing against this Legard for years to come.
On Sunday we had about a 4 hour wait between games and Harper started to complain about her ear...she's only had one ear infection in her life, so I was unprepared. Grandma ran to Walmart to pick up some Motrin, and voila, about 30 minutes later she was laying on some bean bags asleep on the sidelines. We gave her one other dosage during the championship game, but she never complained the rest of that day or the next.
The championship game was held at Hermiston High School. They had an announcer that announced the starting line-ups and announced the player's name when they scored. Also, the players names were displayed on the scoreboard when they scored. It was very cool to see Logan's name in lights.
As you can see, the Hermiston Fifth Grade team was really never in the game..we beat them by 18 points to win the championship.
Had a great week-end with this crew...
The championship game was at 5:45 and we didn't get back to Wenatchee until close to 11. We had to stop for gas in George and this is what Logan looked like in Dave's back seat...5 games in 2 days will make you sleep like a champ!!
