We finished our games fairly early, so we headed over to our hotel, had some pool time, jumped into the RV (aka players' lounge) and went back to the field to cheer on the West Raleigh 7U Blue team play. After their first game, our team headed out for an adventure. Dinner! Back to the hotel for a dip in the pool and then the team headed to their rooms! Thank you parents for decorating the hotel doors for the boys! It's a nice added touch and something we started last year. :-)

We were the #1 seed heading into bracket play on Sunday. The kids slept in, had breakfast in the hotel and then piled in the RV to drive over to the field to watch some of the West Raleigh 7U Blue game.
