Saturday

I was up early to head to Ia City with the Mantz crew and Arrie for basketball their first game was at 9 but we needed to be there by 8:45. The first game was crazy! We were up by 10 or so and the other team came back and at the end of regulation hit a shot at the buzzer which put them ahead by 1 ugh until our score keeper went to the ref's and said that was not a 3 pointer it was only a 2 so after conferring for a bit sure enough the game was tied so that meant overtime! The girls ended up winning  but man I was trembling so bad and so shook up I told JoAnna and Hannah both no more close games but did they listen????? Nooooooo

The girls were not to play again till 4:40 ( what kind of maniac does that to any team????) anyway we drove to Steak and Shake and had lunch, on Michael (Thank you, Michael for springing for lunch!) then we drove back to Cedar Rapids dropped Arrie at her house and went to Mantz's to wait for the second game. We all layed around I finished my book and napped for a bit but pretty soon it was time to head back down there.

We had time between before the game so I walked around the field house inside, just to get some walking in while the coaches talked to their team. The girls ended up losing the second game and were pretty beat up by the 'physical' play of the other team. Not a fun game :( Now they play at 8am sheesh, so this old gal is heading to bed!
