Boonville Black Sox - 7U - Shelbyville, KY Tourney





Friday morning we headed to Louisville KY for Jake's last baseball tourney of the season.  He has played with 3 teams this Summer- we are on baseball overload!  We met up with some of the Black Sox at Joe's Crab Shack for lunch.  On our way to Louisville, we had a blow out on the interstate!  It was frightening changing a tire while cars are flying by you going 80mph!  God's hand of protection was definitely on us during that time!  Once we changed the tire, we met up with everyone and had a delicious lunch!  We then headed to the hotel for the kids to swim and Brad headed to WalMart to have a new tire put on.  Other families began arriving later that evening and then we headed to supper with everyone.  

Saturday, the kids played at 9:00 and 10:30 our time.  Their record for pool play was 1-1.  The game they lost was 12-11 and the game they won was 13-0!  After the games, we headed to lunch and then back to the hotel for more swimming!  Later that afternoon, the team headed to the Louisville Slugger Museum-the kids had a wonderful time!  We were going to have dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe but it was about a 2 hour wait for a party of 40!  We headed back towards our hotel and had dinner at Cattlemans Steakhouse!  It was delicious!  After dinner, the team went swimming again before bed!

Sunday, the kids had another early game-9:00 our time.  We lost 9-1- the kids were disappointed!  They played good but they just didn't have enough in them to compete against the KY teams!  We headed home but made a pit stop in Corydon for Jake- he wanted KFC and we definitely felt like he deserved it!  We arrived home at 1:30 and had the entire day/evening to rest and spend time together and get school stuff organized for the next day!  We had a great mini vacation!
