Braden had a soccer tourney in Broken Arrow over Labor Day.
We left right after the kids got out of school on Friday, checked into the hotel and headed for the Cheesecake Factory for dinner AND we each got our own piece of cheesecake. We usually share, but we had been go,go,go, crazy busy and pretty stressed—so we threw caution to the wind and splurged. And it was worth every penny (AND calorie!) My favorite is Vanilla Bean. Braden (our chocoholic) got the Hershey’s Special one. The other 3 got original. We all had some to take back to the room and eat the next day too :) Except Mamma…. I might have eaten my ENTIRE piece at the dinner table. And I may or may not have thought I was going to throw up on the way to the car because my belly was SO full. To make it a little better, I ordered something off of the “skinnylicious” menu and I only ate 1/2 of the dish JUST SO I could enjoy that entire piece of cheesecake I’d been dreaming about. But I paid for it for the next hour with a stomach ache :)
All of these pics were taken with my iphone. We only got the good camera out at the soccer field that weekend.
Waiting for our food
Sissy was COZY on her little rollaway bed.
Thanks for the gorgeous face, Braden :) And Rhett looks possessed by the game! Yikes!
Playing putt-putt at the hotel before we had to leave for the first game on Saturday.
Gracie teaching Daddy and Braden some ballet positions before we left :) We decided they’d better not quit their day jobs…
Practicing her “dive” :) This was the first time she was jumping into the deep end with no life jacket and swimming to the side by herself. Growing.Up.Too.Fast.
The loot B scored at the vendor tent after the games on Day 2. Spoiled.Rotten.
Rhett got his first very own pocket knife at Bass Pro. He was so proud of it! Too bad he put it in the pocket of some athletic shorts just a few days after he got it and lost it somewhere… good thing we went with a cheaper one. Told him he has to buy his next one with his own money…
Since Monday was Labor Day and we didn’t have work or school, we stayed at the hotel on Sunday night too. We ate a nice meal, hung out at the hotel and left for home the next day after we checked out at noon.
We love being able to travel for soccer. It gives us a nice excuse to escape the real world for 2 or 3 days at a time. We can reconnect as a family as we all coexist in a small space. We always have so much fun and lots of extra snuggling and special time with the kids.
Getting away from the normal routine from time to time is always such a great thing!
