April 17 & 18th we traveled south to Medford for the girls 1st 12A tournament
I knew this was not going to be an easy trip for the Willoughby family. Paul was not able to go with us, he had to stay back home and work. Paul's hours have changed again....he is now off monday and Tuesday working Wednesday thru Sunday, it gets worse....on swing shift!!!
So me and the kids took off Friday about 12:30 PM (I got Paityn out of school a little early that day). We had a fun trip down to Medford. We stopped at Rice Hill to get ice cream and stretch our legs and then back on the road again. The total trip was about 4 1/2 hours. We checked into the hotel and hit the pool. Well the kids did at least, not me. We went to dinner and then back to the hotel for a "Team Bonding" activity. All the girls made hair ribbons. At least our team looks good on the field!!!!
Saturday the girls played three games and went 1-2. Not a great start, but the two games we lost were close. Saturday evening we didn't let the girls swim as much and they were all in their rooms much earlier than the evening before.
Sunday the rules were as soon as you lose one game, you are out of the tournament. I guess our girls wanted to stay "All DAY". The girls ended up playing three games and won the tournament. 1ST PLACE!!!!!
Paityn got a hit in every game she played except one, she only struck out 4 times all weekend. She played 2nd base most of the tournament and was a "vaccuum". She didn't have any errors and made some pretty nice plays. Her backhand is looking really nice!!!
Maddux was such a trooper this entire weekend. The US Cellular Park in Medford is a newer park. The fileds are completely made out of turf. There are 5 fields and in the center of them all is a Subway snack shack with a large playground behind. So guess where Maddux was the entire weekend?
Maddux was a little hungry, he just decided it was easier to eat out of the icechest!!!
