Michael had a soccer game on Monday, we won. Jacob had a basketball game Thursday night at Bruno Pyatt and won. A game Friday night at Bakersfield and lost. Michael had a soccer game Friday night at Eureka Springs and won. Roger and I went to the soccer game at Eureka. My mom came up and went with Jacob to his basketball game on Friday night. I don't know what we would do without her. It has been a very difficult year for Roger and I to divide ourselves to try and be at each child's activities. We both tend to follow Michael this year since this is his senior year. So mom comes and goes with Jacob to his activites, which has been a blessing...he really likes someone there to watch him! Then Saturday Jacob was back in Bakersfield with two more basketball games. We lost the first one in overtime, and won the second one. Michael was in Searcy at State Quiz bowl. They lost. It was a long day!
On Wednesday, Michael and I left for Dallas, TX along with 8 other students, 3 other mother's, and the G/T teacher and her husband. We came home Friday. Had to get Michael and another student home for soccer, and another home for baseball! We went to Dallas to attend a NBA Maverick's and Miami Heat basketball game. We went to the King Tut Museum exhibit, and to JFK Museum. Both were very intersting.
***WARNING TON OF PICTURES!***
Michael playing soccer against Batesville. We won 6-5.
Jacob shooting free throws at the basketball game. Look at it "swish" the net.
We ate at a restaurant called "GATORS" before the basketball game. They had a bus that took us to the basketball game. The driver was Jamaican. You got to sign your name on the bus. Writing was all over the seats, ceiling, etc..anywhere you could find to sign.
This is the colorful bus that took us to the game. Had some great music playing.
Michael signing his name.
A shot inside "American Airlines Center". We were in the NOSE BLEED section! Couldn't get any higher.
Tip off of the game. Mavericks won 98-96. Good game. All of us enjoyed it.
The cheerleaders barely dressed!
We saw Lou Gossett, JR at the mall. He was there doing a promo for his new movie coming out.
On Thursday night we ate at a place called "Dicks Last Resort". We had a blast there. Everyone got a bib. Michael modeling his. This place is a chain and is known for its snotty waiters, making fun of the customers. Live band. They make hats and write things on the hat. I won't post anyone's writing on the hats!! Some were pretty bad, but the kids ate it up. The food....well I've had better, but the atmosphere was awesome!NO pictures posted of King Tut or JFK, because they would not allow any picture taking or video recording.
Kids also rode a tram and city bus. They had to learn to read the maps, to figure out if we had to get on the "red" line or "blue" line.
We had a wonderful time in Texas. The G/T teacher has made some wonderful memories for these kids. We had 8 seniors and 1 junior that went.
I have always wanted to see the King Tut exhibit. That was a trip of a life time. Saw some pictures from Dick's on Facebook really wondering about the hats???? What did your say????
ReplyDeleteI heard about the facebook deal. Hope that has been taken care of! Tell ya in private what the hat said!! We had a blast..it was an educational trip. Couldn't take any pics in king tut!
