Our grandson called us one evening after basketball practice and once more invited us to his ALL DAY basketball tournament in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
So early Saturday morning (3:45 a.m.) we woke up, did our chores, ate breakfast and was on the road a quarter after 5!
Since it was an all day tournament and Blade played in the first game of the day (8:00 a.m.) we knew we had to get to going.
They played three games with the last one ending at five. There were more games after that but he was done at five—they won all their games!
A job well done!
Linky’s new good friend, Andrea (they had a sleepover and didn’t get to sleep until it was almost time to get up to make it to the game… 🙂 )
And Tally who never meets a person she doesn’t like!
We got home late, tired but very happy to be able to watch our grandson and be with the kids and our son-in-law and daughter for the whole day!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

‘Job well done’ to the grandparents also!

I’m so glad they are only 1 1/2 away now. The three hours before made it much hard to do things with them

How nice you were able to go! I’m sure it meant a lot to your grandson to have you there. That would be a long day. Were you seated on bleachers? I imagine a day of rest will be in order after that! My granddaughters have no-sleepovers, too! At least, that’s what they should be called! LOL

We just suffer through it. But our grandson always comes up and gives me a hug and tells us how much it means to him we are there. Sure makes everything worth it!

I was going to ask how you do an entire day on those bleachers but you answered that. I could not for any reason sit with no support for my back and serious cushion for my bum. And you have to leave Boomer at home too. 😦
