Bring in the Spring: AAU tourney: March 7th-9th

We traveled to Spokane for Logan's AAU tournament.  We decided to splurge a little and stay at The Davenport Hotel.

We drove up on Friday night.  Presley was so impressed with the valet that opened her door for her, the kids were impressed with how ornate and grand the lobby of the Davenport is,  and that our room was on the ninth floor.  Rylan said the hotel reminded him of Disneyland's Tower of Terror.



I can see it...
Plus Logan noticed there was no 13th floor and wondered why the elevator jumped from 12 to 14. Daddy asked, "haven't you ever been on the Tower of Terror?"  so I'm sure Ry was thinking of that too. 

Rylan liked this statue that was near the door to load up into our car...


But they were mostly impressed with the huge walk in shower...

And the giant beds...

And the room service we ordered that night...

We went swimming on both nights (Harper in the hot tub)...

We played our first of three Saturday games at 11:00.
Logan likes to listen to music with his headphones and Harper
was imitating him by using her DVD headphones that were NOT playing anything. 
We lost the first game by 8 points and I thought it might be a long week-end.  But we came back with wins in the second and third games. 
We had a long break between the first and second games so we hung around White Elephant.
Dave and I both remembered visiting this store as children. 
We also drove out to Krispy Kremes for doughnuts for the next morning. 

Our first game on Sunday was at 11:00 again so we had breakfast and headed to the game. 
We won our first Sunday game.  Things were looking good...we were in the championship at 3:30.
I really do try to take some pics of Logan playing, but I'm often distracted by two certain crazies...
Presley did a great job of keeping herself busy this week-end making loom bands. 
We ended up winning the championship vs. the TarHeels, the team we had lost our very first game to.  It was great redemption. Logan played solid all weekend long. 

Champions of Bring in the Spring:  6th grade AAU

Unloading from our car at about 8:00 on Sunday...
Basketball can wear a little girl out!!
