day 28

we pretty much had another regular day at the tourney!
it was championship sunday, and it ran pretty smoothly..
the only thing that really went wrong was that our stupid inflatables could NOT stay up!!!! it was windy, but not like insane hurricane-ey winds or something like that, so idk what the deal was. that dang soccer ball one was being impossible. i wanted to set it over at the corner of the soccer complex for a little "time out". we kept trying to stake it to the ground in different ways, but it wasn't working. by noon, we were having to run and set it back up every like, 10 minutes. it kept falling on people, which was awkward because it fell slowly enough that only oblivious people should be getting caught in it. whatevs..
[i have a feeling that i'm going to stab that thing with some scissors by the end of the summer]

anywhoo, after the tourney we packed up...same old, same old.
the group of guys that we were PAYING to help us pack up weren't doing squat, so that was frustrating. but then out of nowhere the wind picked up and we could see huge scary storm clouds rolling in, and all of a sudden those lazy guys were up on their feet packing stuff up faster than gangsta rap.

all in all, we were done cleaning up from the tourney pretty early. that was nice. then we went back to the hotel and slept for a verrrry long time. when we woke up, we went to dinner (laura, stefan, and i) at an irish place. not surprising, since everything in this area is irish. i got fish and chips, because that's just what needs to happen in irish-ville.

after dinner it started raining uncontrollably, so the three of us decided to end our tri-date right and we all watched a movie. i dozed in and out of it and laura definitely passed out after the first 7 minutes, but stefan was a trooper and he watched all of it. haha i'm sure it was a fantastic movie though....the parts i remember watching were just dandy.

so after the movie ended, stefan went to his room and laura and i went to bed.

shazam.

oh, ps - i realized during our tri-date that stefan's name is spelled "stefan" and not "stephen" so....i apologize for the confusion that i'm sure all of our readers have suffered over the past few days. but i'm not going back into our old posts to fix it so......y'all can deal. =]
