Final Fantastic FOUR

 The Fantastic Four made it to the final four in the Marshall Outdoor Tournament last Saturday. The weather forecast prediction was horrible - 80% chance of rain on Saturday.  We definitely weren't going to do a repeat of two weeks ago.  Thankfully the forecast changed, and it turned out to be a lovely day.  The day started bright and early - 8 a.m. and began with pool play.  We had five teams in our pool, and it took most of the morning and mid-afternoon to get all of those games in.  The girls played really well together and had a winning streak for the most part.  Out of the 10 games played, our team won 7 1/2.

One the teams were placed in brackets, the actual tournament started.  It was single elimination, and we started off playing a team from BGHS.  They were pretty tough, but we managed to pull out a win meaning we would be playing in the final four.  The next team we played was the team that had beat us two games in pool play.  The girls knew they would be a hard team to beat.  They played their hardest but ended up losing.  I thought all the girls played well.  It was a long but fun day.

There's a wonderful treasure right next to the interstate - Jerry's Restaurant.  I have loved going there since I was a kid.  It was on the By-Pass for years before moving out to Louisville Road.  I absolutely love their spaghetti.  It was actually the highlight of my Saturday.  I believe Karson and I have eaten there together 2-3 times over the last couple of years.  We aren't on that side of town that often, so we take advantage when we can.

Karson has started reading hte Twilight series books.  She's reading Eclipse right now and was wanting to check the movie out.  I got on WCPL's website to see if it was 'checked in'.  The DVD was at the Smiths Grove library branch so we took a little road trip down I-65 to retrieve it.  We also made a stop at Flavor Isle for a chocolate cone and hot fudge cake.  It was a Fantastic Saturday!
