Saturday
Saturday morning at 8:30 two vans of eight each departed for Milwaukee. Van three left about noon as some of our players took the ACT test that morning. Many thanks to the Wielands for packing a sandwich lunch for everyone for the trip.

| A quick stop to get out the lunches. |
We quickly checked into the Residence Inn in downtown Milwaukee around 1:00 and then headed off to the Bucks practice facility.
Back at the hotel the third van arrived and we ordered pizzas before heading off to the Bucks game.
It was a ten minute walk from the hotel to the Bradley Arena. The Milwaukee Bucks played the 23-0 Golden State Warriors. It was an exciting game and the Bucks won!

After the game we all had passes to stay in the arena and wait to see two of the Milwaukee Bucks' players - Jabari Parker and Johnny O'Bryant. Johnny played on Coach Showalter's USA National Junior Team in '09-10. Jabari played on his USA team in '11-12.

Sunday
We started the day with a great breakfast at the hotel. Eggs, sausage, potatoes, biscuits & gravy, cereals, oatmeal, muffins, yogurts, fruit, and make-your-own waffles were on the buffet menu.
 |
| The line was long for making waffles. |
Everyone had time to pack up and move out of their rooms before study hall.
After study table time we all check out of the hotel and head to the Bucks practice facility for another practice. Today we have everyone here and get in a great practice.
Time to head home - but first a stop at McDonald's.
What a great weekend! What a great group of boys! It was a memorable time together.
