The Grayson's: Softball, Basketball, & High School Musical

Hey! Boy did this weekend just fly by. It sure was a busy weeknd. On Friday Randy had softball. They should have had the Guinness Book of World Record out there. They have two games every Friday night. Both games go to 7 innings, but can end in the 5th inning if either team is at least 10 runs ahead. Anyway, all the other games were over at the ball park and they hadn't even finished their first game! It ended up being 33-31! Their game started at 6:30 and wasn't over until 9:45! It was crazy. We had to be up early on Saturday as Randy's traveling basketball team was in the Prairie Rose State Games in Minot. We didn't get home until after 11:00 and still had to give Karenza a bath. She had been playing at the park all night and the wind was ridiculous Friday night so she was so dirty. Anyway, Randy's team only had two games and both were being played on Saturday. Their first game was at 10:50am, but we had to be there by 10:00am. It's about an hour and half away. Randy set the alarm for 5:30am! I don't know why, but he did. Karenza and I were very sleepy. She had come in our room at about 4:30am and so I didn't get much sleep from 4:30 to 5:30. We were out of the house by 7:15 as we had a few errands to run in the morning. Karenza slept the whole way there, which was nice because it is sometimes hard to travel with her because she talks non-stop!! Randy's basketball team actually won the Gold for Prairie Rose! For not playing for two months and only have practice for a week they looked really good! They played all their games at Minot High School, and they had to get their medals at the Minot Dome. I hadn't been in there since we won our high school championship for boys basketball. I was a cheerleader. Brought back some memories that's for sure. Anyway, below is a picture of Karenza with the gold medal around her neck standing on the podium. Maybe this will be true in about 10 years! :-)

We got back to Bismarck at about 6:30 on Saturday. Before leaving Minot we stopped to fill gas (Karenza had already fallen asleep). Randy noticed there was this pet store next to the gas station. So we woke Karenza up and took her in there. They had tons of puppies. They were so cute. And she loved it. She never did ask if she could have one. I was surprised. When she woke up yesterday morning she wanted to call Papa right away to tell him about the "cute" puppies she had seen yesterday. Papa and Grandma weren't home. So we went to breakfast and then went to the mall. She got a new outfit, and Randy got a couple shirts. Didn't see anything for my self. We then went grocery shopping, and waited for Papa and Grandma to call. They summer theatre is putting on High School Musical for their show. It is at a place called Sleepy Hollow and it is outside. You bring your own chairs too. The show doesn't start until 8:30, but Mom had heard there were 500 people their the night before so we wanted to make sure we got a good seat. So we went at 6:30pm. They open the gates at 7:00. We were second in line and had great seats. Karenza absolutely loved it. She was so funny. I was watching her most of the time instead of the show. I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pictures of her. But she was singing ever song with them and dancing. There was a solo scene of Troy shooting basketball and he made a basket and it was absolutely quiet and she yells "Good Job, Troy!" People around us were laughing at her. At the last scene where Gabriella wears her red dress for the final show, Karenza has that dress. She told my mom and me "I should of wore my dress!". That didn't get over until 10:40 so it was a long show. Tired girl this morning, but that is all she talked about on the way to day care this morning!
