24 Hours of Fun

Meg and I were up early for her band contest.  The weather was awful, but we made it there and back in one piece.  Meg and Preston played well.  They ended up with a silver medal and some great advice for next year's contest.

Cam also had a successful morning at LYC basketball.  He scored at least eight points and his team remained undefeated.  Meg and I made it there in time to watch the second half despite the treacherous road conditions.

With all of the snow none of us were surprised that Cal's game tonight was postponed until later in the week.  An unexpected afternoon and evening of free time turned into twenty four hours of fun for the boys basketball team.  Cal, Alex and Jayce hung out here for the afternoon playing games of pool, NBA 2K14 and Blokus while watching a multitude of NCAA basketball games.  Cameron had fun joining them in their activities. 

The weather changed drastically in the late afternoon and actually warmed up.  The snow of the morning melted from the roads and the boys decided that a Hacienda run was much needed.  We also took advantage of the weather change and headed to Goshen for a quick trip through Target and dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings.  Cam wasn't sure he wanted to go, but loved it in the end as he found Aquaman's arch villain, Black Manta, and a pack of 100 basketball cards.  

The boys returned shortly after we did with the addition of Gage and David.  Doug made chocolate chip cookies, which were devoured almost as soon as they were taken from the oven.  Around 9:45 p.m. one of them got the bright idea to walk up to the high school for fun in the snow.  Five boys returned soaking wet, but happy.  They headed back down to the basement, and we thoroughly enjoyed all of the shouts, cheers and laughter coming up through the vents.  I believe that even those in Milford heard the collective "Yes!" echoing through our home when Duke hit a three to send the Syracuse game into overtime.  Sorry that the boys' game was cancelled, but glad that they made the most of their new found free time.
