Go Mavericks!

This past weekend we made a trip up to Arlington to watch Alicia play in a tournament. The rain began as soon as we hit Conroe and never let up until we returned back on Sunday afternoon. I haven't seen that much rain in probably 4 months. Our first stop was Friday night at my sister Rebecca and brother-in-law Gary's house in Ferris, TX. The minute we walked in, Denise and Brianna went straight to the foosball machine. Their Uncle Gary has taught them well, he now has to play using both hands instead of just his left hand. Thanks for the hospitality and the fantastic breakfast the next morning. We left Saturday morning to go watch Alicia's team play against Arkansas. They started off a little sluggish and ended up playing well, but still lost the match.
Alicia was playing very well and played her heart out. Denise and Brianna had fun running around in their usual manner! Afterwards, we checked into the hotel and us girls went shopping at the mall to pass the time before the next round of games while Dennis stayed at the hotel watching all the college football games. LSU started at 6:00 pm but we were only able to hear on the satellite radio station in the car. We left to watch UTA play the Oklahoma Sooners. They gave it their all and went to 5 games, losing the match. This group of girls are all young and will be really good next year in their Junior and Senior years.Afterwards, we went and stuffed our faces at Cheesecake Factory with Alicia and Elda, one of the girls on the team. We ate so much, we didn't even have room for cheesecake! This morning it was still raining, Alicia came over to the hotel to eat breakfast with us before we took off for home. When we got home we walked into a hot house. Our AC wasn't working. To avoid the high cost of having someone come in and fix the AC on a Sunday, we are spending the night at my brother, Orlando's house for tonight and Dennis will have one of his guys repair it tomorrow. Next week, we will try to make it to Schlitterbahn for their last open weekend.
