Failed Attempt at Being Super Fans

We had a pretty good weekend around the Brandt house. Friday and Saturday Justin had basketball tryouts (he is super excited about the season!). Macklin and I had a play group date with some friends on Friday morning. I just love hanging out with other moms and getting an idea of what other babies are doing.

This weekend was also the State Volleyball Tournament in Denver. Our EVHS Lady Devils made it to the final eight and played games on Friday and Saturday. They won all of their pool play games on Friday and Saturday morning and moved onto the Final FOUR on Saturday afternoon! So, I recruited some high school friends to drive down with me to catch the championship game at 7pm on Saturday night. We just had to win our semifinal game at 4pm that day to make it. Since there would not be enough time to leave after that game was over, we had to leave while they were still playing and hope they would win! Our team is awesome, so we took the chance and got all decked out!

As we were driving, we were getting texts....we won game 1!....we won game 2!!!! (for sure we will play in the championship!)....we lost game 3 and our senior captain got injured :(....we lost game 4......we were up 6-3 in game 5...up 11-9.....we lost game 5 13-15!!!!!!!!! SOOOO SAD!!! We made it from Gypsum to Bakerville (past the tunnel) and then turned around. Instead of celebrating our awesome team in our crazy gear, we just scared the servers at Ruby Tuesday's. We had some friends that were doing the same thing right behind us and we had dinner with them. It was a blast and totally worth it. And...we are so proud of our team anyways!
Way to go girls!
Go Devils!
