Traveling as Two - More Reno

The main part of the tournament was rough for our girls. They had a bye going into the final games which meant they really only got one match. After they lost, the tournament was over.

Unfortunately, we still had a few challenges to overcome. The worst was first...

I accidentally booked Baby Doll to fly home on Sunday and I was booked for Monday. Same time. Same flight. I discovered the problem when I got notifications that it was time for her to board. Freaking out, of course, I tried to get hold of Delta, but with over a thousand people on their phones in the Convention Center, I couldn't get through. The flight was set to leave in 25 minutes!

I was at a loss. I didn't know what to do. So I said a little prayer. Then my phone rang from an unknown number.

It was Delta!!

She assured me everything would be ok and she urged me to call a certain number. They helped me change the flight without a surcharge. It was amazing.

2nd big problem - the first night we were there, Baby Doll realized she forgot to pack silverware, and we ate our Cup-a-Noodles with our fingers. So after Baby Doll ate all of her Lay's Stacks, I made a spoon for her.

I might have meant it as a joke, but she actually used it to eat her applesauce.

Even though we lost, it was still a good day. 

Traveling as Two - Reno

Baby Doll and I have been having so much fun together in Reno. Our friends, T & B have been graciously shuttling us all over because we don't have a car with us. On Saturday, they offered to take us with them to Lake Tahoe since they had never been there and our games didn't start until 4:00.

We got on the road early, before 9:00, and our first stop was Tunnel Creek Station for breakfast. (The 8000+ altitude meant a little oxygen was necessary for these bad lungs.)

The food was amazing, even the eggs, and you know how I feel about eggs.

The scenery was beautiful.

I thought it might be fun to stop by the little cabin we stayed in 2 years ago. It took us a few minutes, but we finally found it.

Baby Doll & B wandered into the water of Lake Tahoe even though it was very cold.

I think they lasted less than a minute!!

We got back just in time for a quick nap before the team lunch and subsequent games.

Baby Doll was amazing!! I even made a couple of videos for you.

They won all three matches!! Now for the final single elimination tournament tomorrow.

State Sterling Scholar

On Thursday, Curly,  Hailey, and I drove to Bountiful for State Sterling Scholar. Unfortunately, Curly didn't win. But we still had a good time.

After it was over, we grabbed some sandwiches at Firehouse Sub. The kids took me to the airport where I climbed onto a flight to Reno. Baby Doll rode down with a friend for the volleyball tournamentl but joined me Friday morning.

It's a very busy weekend...

A Fun Visit

Last Sunday, my cute niece stopped by. She was visiting from Tennessee and she wanted me to see her cute baby girl. Claire is about 2 weeks older than Teach's twins.

I love this cute pic.
