Pgf nationals

We picked the kids up from their 4-week summer school session on Friday. They had a mini summer school open house which we attended for both kids.

We proceeded to drive down to LA after going home to quickly eat lunch. It was super hot on the way down. We had a quick stop for ice cream then dinner at Porto’s. Dave made a mistake of telling the team we’d made it down to LA and orders started coming in. We arrived to LA by 9 and the grandparents took over kid duties while Dave and I had date night.

Saturday we hung out at home until Meg, Jeff and the girls came over. Soon after that, Mike came over to lend us his camera. We headed to lunch, then went in to Disneyland.

We found a color nail polish that matches her ears!

We met up with Kirby to sell him Girl Scout cookies – finally!

We called it an early night as Coach Ray had suggested since we had an early start for our 930 am friendly. We had two games on Sunday in Fountain Valley. We headed back to the team’s hotel to swim some. Dave headed to the coaches’ meeting with the coaches while I took P and B to meet up with Debbie, Pish, Katie and Kyle. Katie was also playing in the tournament for 12’s. We met up with the team back at downtown Disney. The moms had all the kids and took them out to dinner. Our kids had already eaten so they just snacked on bread. The dads took Uber back to DTD for beers then Dave headed home with us while the dads took Uber back to their hotel.

Our Monday game was at 8 am so it was an early wake up time. We hadn’t factored in traffic, so instead of arriving 20 minutes early, we were right on time. We had Clutch up. The team lost 6-8. We needed to check in and get bats tested for proper compression.

It was madness!

But she passed:

We went to get lunch and found a pair of matching shoes!

We headed to opening ceremonies and pin trading. It was blazing hot out there but Katie managed to find her to pin trade.

She also met up with Camrynn who she had met last January at a softball event. It took Peyton awhile to figure out how to pin trade and if she didn’t like a pin to say, “No thanks, I already have that one.”

We then headed to the beach for some bonfire fun. The girls played whiffle ball!

Brandon had a good time with Myles.

Tuesday was also early with a 930 am game against Georgia impact. There was an issue with our car which required Dave to visit the dealership. The check engine light went off and in the end, it’s an emissions issue. He dropped us off at the field early so we watched most of Impact’s first game. The team tied 1-1 against this team. Then there was a small break, then the team played patriots, who they’ve played and beaten before. Uncle Johnny brought Gregory out to this game.

Instead of playing games with Brandon and Myles, Gregory watched intently and asked about the differences between softball and baseball, which he plays. Luckily, uncle Johnny got to see a good game that the team won!

After they left, we went back to the main field to take a team photo.

We cleaned up at the hotel and got ready for dinner. We left Brandon in the room with Myles and a pizza. We took Jiyah and Keith to dinner.

Wednesday was the start of bracket play. The first pool play games meant nothing. It started for real at another 8 am game. This time it was 7 innings. My parents and uncle Harvey came this time. They saw us against Fury from Tennessee. They’d played a late game the night before and struggled to arrive. We scored first at 2-0 then it was tied 2-2 for four innings before they woke up and ended up scoring another 7 runs. We lost 2-9. Softball was done after that and we headed to eat lunch with my parents. Then we headed to the beach with Cat and her family.

All four kids had a great time. We then headed back to watch Camrynn play at 5 pm.

We called it a night after this as we dropped to loser bracket play for another 8 am game. We had dinner then went to try a dessert – churros!

This time it was against UFP 09 who had never won against us in the past.

Unfortunately, our team didn’t show up. They bested us 3-6. They clearly came to play. So ended our PGF nationals run. Uncle Harvey and my parents came again along with Sole’s grandparents. Camrynn, Candice and Ryder were also in attendance for this super early game considering Cam had a 1230 pm game.

We went to check into our hotel, our splurge at the Grand California. We’d never stayed before, and luckily our room was ready when we arrived. We summoned the coaches to come over with us.

And party we did. Or wallowed in sorrow.

We ended our evening at Roscoe’s chicken and waffles. We had a solid meal, then we called it a night. That set us up for an early morning to Disneyland with 13 of us.

We met up with the crew at 7 am at the kiosks. We were able to get everyone into Magic Morning and hit radiator racers first thing.

Then we headed around the park:

Toy story mania: I was best in car! Granted, it was early in the day.

The goal was to last until midnight but in reality, our cars had to be moved from the parking lot by then. Part of the group left before the Main Street Electrical Parade which was being brought back that night. It was even live-broadcast!

There were a few who lasted but barely. We caught Taytum snoozing a few times but once the parade started, she was all in!

We headed out after this was done.

By the way, Brandon was taken to the airport around noon to meet my parents to head home, as they were headed out to Chicago the following week.

More fun to come as Peyton was in only child mode.
