The Royals are now 3-1, after winning their first two, losing to Lyon (so sad- we never play well there) and looking good against Williams Baptist (we beat them by 30!)
.
The girls and I spent the first weekend with the team in a hotel, and then stayed in Batesville with JD's parents for the remainder of the trip.

My "job" on the road:
(I've gotten smarter over the years, and now travel with my own iron)
Good old hotel lunches:
Our Halloween was spent in the gym. Sadly, I got ZERO good pictures of the girls dressed up...

Playing in the bleachers:(It was SO hot, the girls were stripped of their undershirts and tights before half time. Can you see their sweaty hair?)
Dancing after the game (Halle was twirling pretty fast):
In Batesville, GranGran found some costumes for dress-up:
Little Pirate- they both walked around all night going, "ARG, CAPTAIN!"
The fall weather was beautiful once the rain stopped. We went to the park several times:
Watching the waterfall with Pepa:
One of my favorite parts of the entire trip was going to see the Batesville Community Theater's production of Aladdin. It was the girls' first play-going experience.

It was the girls' first play-going experience. I literally had to drag Halle kicking and screaming into the theater. (Don't worry, we went to the dress rehearsal and sat in the back by the door. No one even looked at us twice.) Once she heard the music start, she was captivated and by the end was sitting two rows in front of Cate and I. Cate, on the other hand, loved it from before the lights went down. She cried every time the curtain closed, thinking it was over.
Before the show started:
After the show with the Genie (JD's cousin, Crist, who did a fantastic job):

The fall leaves were beautiful. The girls crunched in them every chance they got:
At the Lyon game (it is still a little weird to go in that gym as the opponent):
Happy with the play doh:
I'm so glad we got to spend so much time with the girls' great-grandparents. Living so far away from both sides of the family, I always feel sad that the girls barely get to know their relatives.
Cate and Mema:

As much fun as we had on the trip, we are all glad to be home!
