A Long Ride Home

The weather was not the best on our way home.  The passes were 45mph and icy.  At times we were going under 40mph.

It was chains required...the truckers were double parked on the highway putting on their chains.

Marc did a great job getting us home in such terrible conditions. 

The motorhome was a mess when we arrived in Spokane.  We stopped by Marc's work to give her a wash.  The girls were a big help scrubbing her clean.

Great job girls!

They also dried her off!

So pretty!

 

Game Three

We had most of Saturday to relax after the morning game.  The boys took that time to clean all the snow off the motorhomes. 

Can you believe all this snow?!?

Game three was later in the afternoon on Saturday.  Emma shooting the ball during warmups.

Olivia shooting during warm ups too.

Coach Marc getting the girls ready.

Olivia showing off her hops again.  We ended up playing the same team as we did in the morning due to the way the brackets worked.

Emma working hard to keep the ball.

Another shot by Olivia.

A third loss but the girls did really well again.  Marc gave a great speech at the end telling him how proud he was and that in the years to come they won't even remember how many times they lost but they will remember the big snowstorm, playing cards with their teammates and getting to play basketball during a pandemic.  It was pretty amazing.

The girls ended the tournament with smiles and great memories.  Great job Lady Rams!

 

Game Two

Game 2 was bright and early Saturday morning.  These girls are ready!

Look at those hops!  

Seriously, the other girl is tall and only on her tip toes!  Nice job Olivia!

Olivia going for the lay in.  She was leading scorer this game too.

Emma on defense...she's so fun to watch.

Olivia shooting a free throw...which she made!  

The girls did great again but unfortunately came out with another loss.  They really did look good out there and they all said they had fun playing again.

 

Game One

We rented out the club house at the campground for a team meeting and dinner Friday night before the game.  The coaches went over plays with the girls.

The girls had hamburgers and then played a game of spoons.

Here we go...Rams 8/9th grade team!

We headed to the gym for the game...I don't have a photo, but it was snowing a TON in Boise which is very unusual and it took a long time to get there because they didn't plow the highway!  Crazy!

Olivia and Emma bringing the ball down.  Emma letting everyone know the play.

We played a tough team.

Emma ran the plays well.

Olivia taking the ball out.

Stack!  Olivia wants the ball!

Go Olivia.

Nice drive Olivia.

Olivia was leading scorer this game.

Even though they lost, Olivia came out of this game saying "I LOVE BASKETBALL SO MUCH!"  The last time they actually played was last March before everything was shut down due to COVID.  Their season was cut short as a result and they have not really played since so it was so much fun to see them on the court again. 

 

Trip to Boise ID

We loaded up the Motor Home with 4 teenage girls and headed to Boise to play some basketball.  Allison, Emma and Olivia played a lot of Uno.

Mariah and Olivia goofing off in the back...they watched a lot of movies along the way.

The campground had a pool!  We were able to rent it out the first night we were there.  The girls had a blast!  Kynlea was there too!

We took the girls shopping on Friday.  Starbucks was a must!

This was our crew in the car for the weekend.  Emma rode with the Toner's since our pull cars were only so big.  It worked out great though!

 

Smile!

We have another beautiful smile free from braces in the house!  

Tuesday night..last day with braces!

Wednesday morning..she can’t stop smiling. 

Beautiful!
