Gunnar is on the 9U Latah County All-Star team this year (although he is already 10, but his birthday is 16 days after the April 30th cutoff date. He was very sad in 2nd grade when we told him he couldn't play with some of his buddies because he was too young). Nick is an assistant coach.
At last week's first tournament in Moscow they played three different 10U teams and were beat pretty badly, but then they played two other 9U teams and won both games. This weekend we are in the middle of Washington, where it is cookin' in the 90's! They won their first game 12-7 last night vs. the 9U Moses Lake All-Stars, and Gunnar was 2-2 including a beautiful little bunt for a hit.
Our hotel room was a hilarious little discovery, since we got the reservations from someone else and have only two doubles, not queens, and it hasn't been updated in decades (the little TV is a relic). The little boys slept on a sleeping bag in the corner. But hey, it is clean - and at least we don't have to stay in Spokane or tricities like some families who couldn't find a place to stay!
