SATURDAY TOURNAMENTS




Romeo is in traveling basketball.    He has practice two nights a week and has Saturday tournaments.  This is a whole new world for us.  Our sporting world has consisted of swimming, cross country, track, a little soccer and softball.  These tournaments are a new thing to us and WOW! it makes for a long day.  

Today the boys were in Mora.  Allen and Romeo left the house at 9:30 a.m. and got home around 8:00 p.m.  They played four games throughout the day.  It is a great time to get to know other families, but it sure is time-consuming.  Allen and I are pleased with the nice boys that Romeo gets to play with...  They have been so welcoming and encouraging to him.  I am sure we have many more tournaments in our future.

Meanwhile, the rest of us made a visit to the marathon wrestling tournament that was going on in Cambridge.  Homework, shopping, friends and errands filled the rest of the day.  I am pleased to report that I even started a book tonight.  (It's my first since our new kids came!)

Our family has endured 15+ years of that busy schedule. Thankfully I wasn't good enough to play traveling basketball until high school. Post a schedule sometime. If there are any tournaments in our neighborhood we'll try to make a game.
