Sarasota Day 1

Okay, this is technically Day 2 already down in lovely Sarasota for the Ultimate Frisbee National Championships, but yesterday was mostly a travel day so I'm not counting it.  So there.  But here are two pictures from travel day as we had a layover in Atlanta and decided to have a giant picnic in the gate area (picnic aka make a giant mess on the floor). Couldn't get both Finley and Eliot to look at me at the same time, but you get the idea.
 So onto Day "1".  Dan's team (Ironside) had three games today, starting at 9:30 so by 10am we were settled into our spectating spots.
 But to be honest, both kids didn't sit too much more as they bustled around playing with toys, eating snacks, and generally goofing around.  Here's Finley feeding Eliot's baby which I snapped a shot of since I'd never seen him play with a baby doll before.
 Sangwha had gotten a sweet sunshade the night before, so we popped that up and enjoyed shade in the second round.  Plus, Finley and I picked up Murray at the airport (Finley napped the whole way there and then woke up to Murray opening the trunk and said "Gan-pa" which is much closer to Grandpa than "Geeka") and he joined our rag-tag crew.
He may not be smiling here, but his body position is exactly how Dan often sits in chairs like this! Too funny!
Finley is fairly interested in watching the "fiz-fee" game and loves cheering for his daddy and Ironside.
But both kiddos seemed to have more fun being silly!
 After Dan's team won all three games, it was time to pack up.  Finley dragged his chair bag around trying to "help" so Dan showed him how to wear the strap, which really made his day.  Until he walked about ten steps with it and then cried out, "pick up, pick up." So Dan carried Finley and I carried the chair back to the car.
All in all, it was a great day.  Both kids were great and Ironside kicked butt.  Fingers crossed tomorrow is more of the same!
