April
4th – 7th, 2013
We
are so grateful that Race has worked his butt off in basketball so that we
could even make the trip to Atlanta, GA!
DAY
ONE
We
set out of St. George at 4 am for the Vegas Airport. We were scattered on
different flights, but all arrived in GA safely. We were lucky to have the
Jorgensen family with us!
Our
first event was the College Three Point and Slam Dunk Championship. It was
unbelievable and we had so much fun.
Love
having sister Macie around to keep my dear husband entertained ;) You wouldn't
think he'd need it at an event like this......
Love time as a family - especially if it involves BASKETBALL!!!
Macie and I with the
winner of the College Slam Dunk contest "Dunkin' Doug
Anderson".
DAY
TWO
Race
was asked to participate in a Facebook voting competition for the chance to be
entered into the National High School Three Point Championship. With much help
from Facebook friends, he won all four rounds to land him in Atlanta.
He
competed in a small high school gym, filled with tons of screaming kids and
cameras everywhere. He absolutely killed it in warm-ups, but when the cameras
got right up in his face the pressure was on. We were so proud of him and even
being at this competition proves he is one of the best shooters around.
As
you can see, he shot against THE BEST in the good ol' USA haha
We
were so excited and had so much fun cheering him on!
(don't
mind my special hubby haha)
The
Jorgensen's are such an amazing family and we hope they'll be around for the
long haul ;)
ATLANTA

Georgia Aquarium and it was one of MY favorite parts of the trip.

Town! Jackson won himself a nice Final Four authentic backpack by breaking the
weekend record on a mini hoop competition. Next he broke the record for the
vertical jump haha - his competition was young children, however haha.
FINAL FOUR TIME!!!
It was a ONCE IN A
LIFETIME opportunity for sure. We had remarkable seats - thanks to the
Jorgensen's.
Me
and the hubby had a blast!! All decked out in FinalFour gear! :)
We were loving how legit our
tickets were!
DAY FOUR
We traveled home, waking at 2 am, and arrived in Vegas
Sunday afternoon.
Overall, the trip was a blast and we had so much fun. We
were wishing like crazy we could stay for the Championship, but the Final Four
was an indescribable experience.
