Dodge Ball

 Last weekend, we went to Logan to compete in fundraiser event for the Special Olympics dogde ball team.  We played in a dodge ball tourney and Alpine sponsered the team.  I was a little nervous about it because the men can throw the balls so much harder than the women.  The highlight of the day, was that we got headbands and free t-shirts!! Yay!!
There were nine teams in the competition and three courts in the gym.  We played each team once before the little tourney started.  Each game consisted of 6 players from each team competing against each other.  I thought it was pretty fun.  There was only one time that I was left the only one on our team against two guys from the other team.  I was scared but it was fine.  They threw the ball the same time.  They hit me in my hands and we lost...oh well.  It was a quick tourney but everyone had fun.  Our team placed fourth. 
Chick-fil-A sponsored the tourney, so they had lots of fruit and lemonade and little gift cards they handed out.  The boys had a good time running around in the upper courts.  They also enjoyed the free drinks and snacks. 
After the games, Jocelynn met us in at the Tabernacle and we ate lunch and let the kids run around.  The weather was perfect and it was nice to sit and chat.  When I lived in Logan, we used to take the kids there to play all the time, so we decided to do it while we were up there.

Clayton really wanted to got out to Jocelynn's house, so we took a ride out with her for a couple of hours.  All the boys had a great time jumping on the tramp, rolling around on the floor together, and goofing around!
