College Nationals 2016

I have been completely exhausted after this past weekend. I took a nap on Monday afternoon for 3 hours and then fell asleep on Tuesday afternoon for another couple hours. College nationals wiped me out!

Jay arrived on Thursday evening and Mom and Dad came in Friday morning. Games started at 2:30 on Friday afternoon but we arrived a little early to eat lunch, check out the facilities, and lock down good seats for Wilmington's first game. While we were there we also stopped by the Triangle Ultimate tent to see my new banner!


The weekend did not turn out quite like we were all hoping for. Wilmington got a bit of a slow start and they weren't able to recover and make it into bracket play. It was disappointing for Jack and really hard to see him so upset. That being said, it's an honor to even make it to nationals and Jack still played like the rockstar he is. Check out this ridiculous catch. In true Jack form he was making plays like this all weekend long. 



It was very fun to be able to watch the games with friends and family all weekend. I loved having a huge crowd there cheering on Jack and his team.




I was able to test out my new camera while at the games and was very pleased with the quality of the pictures. I took over 300 so I'll put only a select few on here.
















On Sunday we were able to celebrate Adnan's birthday and have some quality family time minus Jack. We signed up for an escape room and it was the cherry on top of a disappointing weekend. We didn't escape in time. It was still fun though and Adnan's first escape room!


Birthday cake for all!




Memorial day was a fabulous weekend! It was awesome having the whole family in town. I know nationals didn't go the way we were hoping but these are the best of the best. Wilmington played so well but it wasn't their weekend. These other teams were just a bit more in sync this weekend. Jack always makes us proud and gives 100% all of the time. He's impressive to watch and we're looking forward to watching him on big stages in the future!
