State Wrestling Tournament

Friday we made our way down to Indy for the State Wrestling Tournament. My bro-in-law (Natalie's brother) Joel made it to state for the second straight year. The tournament began on Friday night. Joel wrestled a guy from Indianapolis and totally outwrestled him. The frustrating thing though is that the guy Joel wrestled got a few cheap points and then stalled the entire third period. He didn't even give Joel a chance to wrestle him. It's too bad some guys try to win that way. Joel did get beat 4-3. We were so proud of him though because of how great he wrestled. Congrats BO! We love you man!

After the Friday night portion of the tournament (that got over around 10 pm), we tried to kick some of our winter blues with a visit to Cheeseburger in Paradise...so good! We got back to the hotel around midnight and went to bed around 1 am.

Saturday morning (after sleeping in), we ate breakfast and wasted some time playing a game substitute for the summer time classic Corn Hole...it's called BUTTON HOLE. Basically the way we play is I lay on my back on the hotel bed and press my shirt down into my belly button. Natalie then takes spare change and tries to land it on my belly, and even better in my belly button hole (score it basically the same way). We were going to show pictures, but figured the mental images you have would cause enough nightmares. Try it at home sometime...it's sure to be a hit.

Another thing we tried at the hotel involved a card on display in our room (See picture below).

It's obvious it's a promotional piece for their hotel...we saw it though as an opportunity to try to get our sister-in-law (Jordan's wife Sara) to do something dippy. We told her that we weren't sure what the card was supposed to do...that we had all tried it (put our head on the card and closed our eyes) but nothing happened. See picture below of me "trying it out."

We asked Sara to try it out to see if she could get it to work. She did of course (see picture). What fun...we are cruel.

After spending some time with the family at the hotel, we decided that since we were in Indy we would stop by to see our friends Matt and Natalie. We caught Natalie just before she went to work and spent a little time with Matt at their house. It was great spending even a little time with him. I wish they'd move to Fort Wayne.

Then we went for lunch at Bahama Breeze (thanks P and K). It was great. We were stuffed and ready for a nap (we didn't get one though).

Instead of napping, we went to visit Natalie's counsin who just moved to Indy as well. Finally we headed home. What a full day!
