Vacation? Hardly my idea of a vacation but the CO Sparkler/Fireworks tourney is here and it's going to be a crazy busy and hopefully fun-filled week! We live here in the Rockies so it's all relatively close by and travel is mainly limited to city traffic. For those of you coming in from out of state I hope you enjoy all that Colorado has to offer!
My twin DD's team started this off with a USSSA tourney this weekend (bracket games today). Have to be at a local college camp early tomorrow morning (even earlier for my pitcher/catcher duo) and then not sure about the Sparkler opening events. We are playing in the Fireworks (16 Open Division I) and looking forward to what appears to be some great competition. Pool games on Tues and Weds (they've got to spread it out you know ;-)) and then bracket comp starts Thursday. One of my DD's was nominated to run in the Fastest at the Fourth competition and we'll have to be fast to get from the park we're playing our last bracket game at to the main park for this event! Has anyone here ever had a DD in this or even watched it? Curious to see how they pull it off?
After that both DD's have to report in for the All Academic games, I'm proud of both of them for having the grades and scores to participate in this event. Anxious to see the turnout, really hopeful that the schools are well represented. DD's also got nominated for the the All Stars games but we've been there/done that in the past and the folks at TC suggested only doing one or the other and we decided to go with the Academics this time around. Of course after a long day and a late night on Thursday we'll turn around and be back at the park early on Friday morning for more bracket play hopefully playing deep through the weekend!
Helluva vacation eh? Whatever happened to R&R on a beach somewhere? ;-) Good luck and safe travel to everyone playing and visiting CO this week!
