Mesquite Tournament for Presidents Weekend 2023

 Alegra, Lexi, and I picked up June and her mom Erin on Thursday morning February 16th.  We drove down to Mesquite.  We checked into our Airbnb and then went to Walmart to get a few groceries.  We came back to rest before having a team meeting at our place and then the girls played their first game at 8:15 p.m on Thursday night.  They played the team right above them, the black team.  They lost to them 2-1. It was a good game.  On Friday morning they had a game at 10:45 a.m.  They played a really good team and ended up losing 0-5.  The first half they were down by 4 so they played much better the second half.  The consolation took place on Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m.  The girls and moms kinda hung out and relaxed in the afternoon on Friday and then we went to watch the black team play on Friday night.  Once we were done playing games on Saturday we decided to drive to St. George to eat and hang out at Paradise Village where Ruki's family had rented a spot.  The moms played pickelball and the girls swam.  We drove back to Mesquite to sleep and then we packed up Sunday morning and headed home.  The tournament ended up being kinda a bummer.  We played really good teams which is good for the girls but there are always tough moments with tournaments.  It was nice to be home today and relax and unwind before the week starts.


The complex in Mesquite that they played at was very nice. Turf and set in a pretty setting. Mesquite was in a cold snap so the games were all pretty cold!

We ended up picking up Fran and Lucy in St. George to take back to SLC so the girls had to smoosh in the back! Luckily they like each other.  
Lexi worked on cleaning her basketball shoes on her day off today!
