Third Place Victory in Iowa City!

Iowa Lightning Red Team 

This is the first Sunday we have been home in weeks and it is kind of nice, although we aren't sure what to do with ourselves.

Happy Fathers Day to all the wonderful fathers in our family, especially to Wayne and my dad, Jerry!  Love you both lots!  Sending happy father's day thoughts and hugs to Joe, Wayne's dad, as well.  Missing him on days like today. (and always)

I bet you can't guess what Wayne is doing for Father's Day?  It's a tough one......right...golfing!  He is in some tournament today and hopefully he will do alright.  He hurt his back really badly Wednesday night at a fire meeting and is having a hard time evening sitting so we will see how he feels when he gets home.  The kids made him a HUGE breakfast and he and I had mimosas - maybe that will help him loosen up.  :)

As you can see from the picture, Elyse's lightning team got their first medals of the season.  They took 3rd in the Iowa City tournament.  Yeah!!!  They were very excited yet should have been in the championship, but due to a stupid loss to the other Lightning team as well as the tournament having point spread caps to determine seeding, we weren't there.  It was a bummer, but they should still be proud!  They came back and beat the other Lightning Team this time to get 3rd place so they were happy.   The team played fabulous basketball, except one game, and came out stronger than we have ever seen them.  It was a fun weekend to watch!  Elyse ended the weekend by fouling out of the last game (not a good official as they were not good calls) but that is a first for her for the Lightning, maybe ever.

So good job Lightning and happy Father's Day to all!
