So Thursday we left for Mesquite Nevada for Bowdee's Football USA Invitational Tournament. His team was invited to go and play against some of the best teams in the state. Thursday we checked them out of school after I got done teaching preschool and then we hit the library then we were on the road at 4:30. The kids did great on the way down and we were checking into the Virgin River before we knew it. Friday the next day we were there Bowdee and Dad went to the Sport Complex to check it out. They had some competitions going on so he came and got us and away we went. We pretty much hung out at the Complex all day doing weigh ins and talking to dads Grantsvillites all day.
Then we went to feed our football player and hit his first game at 6:30 he played against Virgin River who is said to be undefeated in the last 2 years and the Nevada State Champions. Well they took it to them and we won 23-7. It was a hard game the refs called at least 137 yards of pentalties on our team. It seemed like they really didn't want us to win. But we did anyway. It was a perfect night the weather was so nice beautiful skies, our first game under the lights with only a hoodie to warm us. And to top it off with a win. WOW!
Saturday we relaxed and went to the arcade and hung out at the park. Then his game was at 3:30 so we took our place on the field against Bingham who is another undefeated team until this weekend. It started to rain shortly after the kick off and it was cold. With a long sleeve shirt, short sleeve shirt, fleece, hoodie, and rain jacket I was still cold! The boys played hard and it was a close game at the end of the first half they were both 7 points. Their coaches were yelling and getting their heads in the game. So the boys came back out to play and play they did. But the other team was playing to win as well. After all the smack Bingham was talking to our boys at the hotel they had to win... Anyway in the last 5 seconds of the game it was 13-13 their ball. Our corner back caught an interception and ran for the touchdown!!! Wow talk about some fun time.
So we won and took home a big 6 foot team trophy and took regional! Yes it was the perfect season with some great memories along the way. What a great coaching staff we had and what wonderful boys that were on Bowdee's team. Thanks Bowdee for taking us along on your voyage this year and giving us such a great experience, one that will last a lifetime! So that was our first 3 days of our 18 day vacation.
