Tennis tournament

For the second weekend in a row, Kyle had an away tennis tournament. He has played in this nationwide tournament for the past 2 years. He really enjoys this tournament. Last year he took second and this year he had a great tournament again. His first round match was against a tough #2 seed. Kyle kept his head and won the match 7-5, 6-3 against a competitor who was very animated. His second match, Kyle won 6-0, 6-0. The finals was against the #1 seed. Kyle lost 0-6, 0-6 but he kept his head and played against a great player. The best part of the whole tournament, even better than his second place finish, was that Kyle won the boys sportsmanship award. We were very proud of him and he, rightfully so, was proud of himself. Congrats Kyle!
Since this was an away tournament, we all went again. The kids all had a fun time together. I remember road-tripping as a kid so it's nice to do it with our kids now. Somehow we survived back then without DVD players or video games. 

The hotel pool was great. Just the right size and perfect for cooling off in the 100 degree temps we had. 

The kids had a fun time in the hotel, laughing hysterically when they should have been sleeping.
