Central Zone - Indiana

Our next traveling weekend was a trip to Indiana. Kaylee and I rode with her friend Ashley and her parents- they drove, so I had a nice, relaxing ride this time. We left around 3pm and made it through Chicago without running into much traffic at all. But...the snow started falling as we got into Indiana. The roads started to get slick, so it took us a little longer to get there than we thought it would. But, it was worth it - we saw a car on fire in the ditch and 3 or 4 other cars in the ditch along the way. There was a car that sped past us and then spun out in front of us...crazy!  We were very happy to make it there in one piece. My sister Tracy and her husband coach the 14-1 team this year, so we are lucky to be traveling to some of the same tournaments as them. Natalie and my Mom came along this time and Natalie was such a good girl - she was making lots of friends at the hotel - all the kids just love her!  Oh - and my cousin Ken lives about 5 minutes from the hotel where we were staying, so he stopped by after flying in from DC...such a hectic life he leads, but it was SO nice to catch up with him for a little while.

As Kaylee said, "Funnest car ride, ever!"

Out!

                                              Natalie even got in on the huddle after the game.

Hanging out with cousin Ken!

Celebrating an awesome weekend with shakes....and Kaylee napping on the way home.
