Hermiston AAU Tournament: January 25-26

Dave had his National Sales Meeting in San Diego and left on Thursday so I was on my own for the week-end.  I was actually really looking forward to this tournament because last year we took home the championship.  We did not have a game on Friday night so we drove down on Saturday morning, making a quick pit stop at Grandma and Papa's house before Logan's first game in Hermiston.

The first game versus Zillah was a close one but we won by one.  We were actually pretty far ahead and they were just able to slowly gain on us.  Bob, Tona, and Papa Berries were able to come to this game.

The second game on Saturday was versus Sagebrush (a Tri-Cities team) and Wenatchee crushed them by about 30.  My mom, Cristy, Joe and Lanae made it to this game.  Logan's cousins Mathew and Emily were both playing in this tournament too and it worked out to see plenty of the kids' games this week-end. 

One of our regular players had to miss this tournament so Colby was moved up to play.  I was thankful cause I knew that meant his dad Kelley would get a couple of good pictures of Logan.  

On Saturday evening we went out to have a team dinner and back to the hotel for a big (and crowded) swim party. 

Sunday morning we had a game and we had to play Zillah again.  Grandma and Papa and Papa Berries were able to come to this game.

Ry played a lot of his Kindle this week-end.  This is one of the few times I saw his eyes!!

Unfortunatley, we lost this game and we ended up playing for 3rd or 4th.  It was a tough loss but Wenatchee came back to destroy the Hermiston Dogs.

Logan didn't play too well this game--he ended up fouling out!!  He came off the court with his head hung low.  It was kind of a long ride home!!
