One weekend this summer, Darrin took Miles to play baseball in Hoover, Alabama, while I took Carson to play in Senatobia, Mississippi.
It's hard to divide and conquer, but I'm glad we take turns with each kid.
Darrin got to connect with one of his former UTM volleyball girls that lives in Alabama.
Miles got to play in the Met which is where the SEC championship is held every year.
It wasn't a successful weekend for his team, but they did manage to have a lot of fun at Top Golf and Dave & Busters.
They spent some free time visiting Samford University.
Meanwhile, Carson and I had a good time in Senatobia. I canceled our hotel room because I felt so sure it was going to be rained out. That left us as the only family that wasn't staying at the same hotel. I called all day but they were booked solid. Carson was VERY upset about it and I wasn't thrilled about having to drive a pretty good distance to find a decent hotel that wasn't booked. I prayed all day that something would work out. I even thought about driving two hours home but our Saturday game ended late. When my friend checked into her room, they told her she had accidentally booked two rooms, so we grabbed one of them and got to stay with the team! It was a good lesson for Carson to learn to pray about all the things.
We have raised some pretty bougie children however. Carson was not a fan of the sheets that were clearly less than an acceptable thread count.
On championship Sunday, we had ALL day to kill because his first game wasn't until 6:30pm. We went and looked around Northwest Community College.
We also got a bunch of snacks at Walmart and ate in the car because we'd already eaten out for breakfast and lunch :)
The craziest thing happened...I found a $100 bill in my glovebox. I had forgotten putting it there 2 months before. It was the equivalent of finding a $5 in your pocket x 10.
After a very LONG day, Carson team won a big game and walked away champs!
It was the last tournament of the season and definitely the culmination of a lot of hard work and practice.
Spending one-on-one time with each of them is fun and special. I feel sure that core memories for made for all of us.
