Our final trip was to Pagosa Springs for a Basketball Tournament. A family we go to church with, the Ross family, lost two of their adult sons in a plane crash and set up a Memorial Basketball Tournament in their name. It raises money for a scholarship to be given out and it's a lot of fun. Steve's team "The Heat" won first place in their division - yea! This is Steve & his good friend and basketball buddy, Russ, displaying the championship jackets.
They had lots of games for the kids - this is Trenton in the shoot-off. The little guy who won only made one out of five baskets, but Trenton shed a few tears after not making any baskets. Tough lesson for my little perfectionist.
The championship team!
Dad's number one fans - with Blake holding his ever loving 'saketball.' The child is absolutely obsessed with basketball - the balls the game, the shorts, you name it - he LOVES it!
Some of the Ross cousins showing their support - this loud, enthusiastic fan base didn't give the other teams a chance. They were hilarious - I'm just glad we were on their team!
On the way home we stopped at 'Coney Island' in Bailey, CO. We were driving through the beautiful mountains and came upon a hot dog stand shaped like a huge hot dog with a 'boardwalk' next to a river. It was the coolest place and of course we couldn't resist stopping. I guess it's well known and moved from Conifer to Bailey a few years ago, but it was our first trip to it. We'll definately be going back!

Congrats Steve! Or should I say "Air Allen"?
So you have another little b-ball player in training? How fun is this, watching how they each express their own unique interests and abilities?
And I hope that Trenton knows his Dad didn't start out that amazing. It took a lot of hard work and persistence. Two things Steve exemplifies in spades!
