Whew!

Last week was busybusybusy. I went down to Des Moines on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday for State Wrestling. I haven't driven that much in a year! Trevor wrestled on Wednesday and got pinned in both his matches so he was done pretty quick. He didn't wrestle poorly, but the competition was pretty good. Still, for just starting as a freshman, Trev improved dramatically over 4 years and just qualifying for state was quite an accomplishment. Plus, he's just a good kid overall and what aunt wouldn't be proud of that?

Bob and I took Kevin down on Friday for both sessions and ended up staying overnight at the same hotel with Sharon and the PV bunch. Kevin had a blast running around with Brett at the tournament and then getting to stay at the hotel and swim. We took the boys to PF Chang's and even talked Trevor into testing out a bite of calamari. It didn't kill him, but he only took one bite;) It was pretty fun getting to hang out out with my nephews for a while. Since they've gotten into jr. high and high school and I've been busy with babies, I haven't gotten to do that too often. They're sure way easier to take to a restaurant than the my little bunch!

We went down on Saturday for the finals- we were up in the top level, but we could see everything. Unfortunately, Trevor's teammate Travis lost his bid for back to back championships so it took some of the fun out of the evening. There was still some good wrestling, though, and I'm looking forward to seeing how Kevin likes it.
