Phoenix Here we Come!!

Frances's team had a soccer tournament in Phoenix. Her coach had been talking about it since May try outs as a great opportunity to play the best teams in the country and to test levels of play. He also thinks it is a great bonding experience and growth experience for girls to travel, get out of their element, and have to be responsible.

For Christmas my mom gave us a paper that said "#experiencesnotpresents". She was taking all of us to Phoenix for our XMas present...minus Mark who had a boys golf trip in Bandon.

We left a day early, which was a super great idea, as it was the only day that Frances got to stay with us and enjoy the EIGHT pools that were at the hotel grandma got us. We were that family that shut down the pool at 11pm. HOLLA! We also got to check out a super cool restaurant that was my kids dream - ping pong, corn hole, foos ball. Hello, college towns!
