The girls and I headed out on Thursday after ballet to Louisville, Kentucky. We were attending the Southeast Christian Church's Main Game Bible Bowl Tournament. We drove through storms at the beginning and end of our venture. I do not see well when it rains but add the heavy downpours and lightening show and I was praying us there for sure! Regardless, we arrived at the hotel, got tucked in for the night and went to sleep. The next morning we all headed over to Southeast for the beginning of the tournament at 8:30. The girls had 5 rounds of games. Then they had two fun rounds called Family Feud and Fun. In these rounds, the kids were just trying to earn tokens for a fun park they were going to that day. So, they had a round where they were asked 12 questions on each team, then a round where they had 12 questions asked to both teams and then they had a round where they asked the coaches the questions. Well, I was Bean's coach at this event. So that meant I had to answer the questions. Luckily, I did well for my girl, but man did it give me some idea what my girls go through before a tournament! I was one nervous momma!
Bean and her team mates
Friday's games ended and we all headed over to the nearby buffet. They had reserved spots for all of the teams. (16 teams) We ate and then headed over to the Renaissance Fun Park for a great time of putt-putt, go-karts, laser tag and games. The girls had a blast and I was able to sit and talk with the other mom's on our team for a bit. I also drove go karts with the girls. After that, the girls and I headed back to our room and rested before we headed to Ruby Tuesday's for dinner. We enjoyed the salad bar so much! Yum! We ended our day at the pool and then off to bed for a good night's rest.
Saturday morning started early again. We checked out and headed over to the church. They gave away ribbons for the top three teams in each division from Friday's games. Doodle's team won the division undefeated at that point. She was so excited.
Saturday's events were different than Friday's. This was a double elimination day. So Bean's team played their games and ended up coming in 12th out of 16 teams! We were very proud of them. They are a younger team and truly did great. Doodle's team only lost one game the entire weekend and winding up winning the entire weekend! This is our first year with Bible Bowl and truly we are so impressed with the quality of the group of kids.

Main Game Champs!
Doodle's team will be competing at the Bible Bowl Nationals in Indianapolis in July. We are very proud of both of our girls. Both have worked so hard this year memorizing a ton of God's Word. What I am most proud of for Doodle, not only does she work hard to memorize the portions of scripture they are working on at that time, but when she plays, win or lose, she shines for Christ during these tournaments. Bean does too, she just has not had the chance to win at the level Doodle has yet. I just am impressed that Doodle is kind to her team mates as well as the other teams. She gets it. We tell her repeatedly that it does not matter how much she learns of God's Word if she does not live it. We are very proud parents to say the least. :)
