At 7th grade Girls AAU Nationals

Right now the Sullivan’s are hanging in Rochester, MN with Jake’s 7th grade girls team at AAU Nationals! Since I don’t believe in ‘jinx-ing’ I will go ahead and brag and say that these girls seriously have a chance to win it. They have two games today, and if they win both they will be in the quarter finals. Jake has coached these girls since they were in 3rd grade, and he just LOVES this team! Once this tournament is over we head on to begin our time with the high school boys teams at tournaments in Milwaukee and Chicago for the start of the live period. This is the first of our two 10-day road trips for the month of July.

Boy, are we all missing Samuel right now! We really wish he was here with us to experience the fun and do some major family bonding. Today when we found a really cool park JJ said, “Next time we need to bring Samuel here!” And Jayla keeps saying “Where’s Samuel?” So sweet! I still have a few more posts to finish off our Ghana trip journal…I just need to make the time to type them out! My blogging might be somewhat inconsistent until I get into a routine here on the road. For now we have some serious business to take care of like…

Mowing down huge bowls of ice cream…

Playing on the coolest and biggest park we have EVER seen….

And flying through mid-air jumping from bed to bed in the hotel!

Oh, and JJ has also discovered that cute girls can talk him into doing ANYTHING! He’ll never live this one down.......

Did you see his attempt at doing a cartwheel? I was laughing so hard watching all of this. The girls had this little routine that they were teaching JJ and they said he was the mascot!
