Baseball Tourney in Schaumberg, IL

The U9 New Berlin Magic traveled south to Schaumberg, IL for a baseball tournament last week and finished first place on one of the hottest weekends of the summer!  Dave's truck said it was 100 degrees and that was for the 9:00 AM game.  Luckily, the boys played so well that we won our two games quick on Saturday and could get out of the heat.  Plus, there was the incentive of the hotel pool that fired the boys up to score a lot of runs!!!
Let's go Michna!
Staying cool :)
Refueling in between games and loving the air conditioned restaurant!

This team is special.  Everyone gets along so well.  They look out for one another on and off the field which is why this group of boys have been so successful this season!  The siblings were troopers in the heat and they were all so supportive.  The parents had an absolute blast as well.  What a fun, HOT, weekend of baseball with a pretty incredible group of people.
The NB Magic has taken over the pool!

So. Much. Fun.
We went to a restaurant called GameWorks at the Woodfield Mall.  We had dinner and then we had an hour of arcade games.  We took over the place and had a great time!  On the way out, the boys stopped to dance to the music playing outside.  They were in unison to the different dance moves.  We captured a video of it too which is hilarious.  We burned off some energy and then it was back to the hotel for more swimming! 
Shooting the Zombies!
Beating Dad at air hockey :)

Dancing to the music!  These boys crack me up!
 We had two more games on Sunday and won both to win the championship.  We didn't think they would play their best as we stayed up late and swam until 11:00 PM with their eyes full of chlorine but they all proved us wrong!  We beat the storm until the ride home.  Such a fun tournament!
Look Mom!  The umbrella is floating :)

Way to go, Alex!!!
