COVID/Quarantine- for the memory books

 This is something I've been wanting to do since COVID began... document all the signs/rules/memes/pictures/etc. that are out there.  I figured this will be something that would be fun to look back on!

I'll be adding things along the way, but here is what I have so far:

Funny to see this on the map app!

Knoxville

Taylor's basketball team traveled to Knoxville, TN the first weekend in May to participate in a pre-national basketball event.  It was really cool, because there were teams from all over the US.  We personally played teams from Tennessee, Indiana, and West Virginia, but even more states were represented in the tourney.  Our coach wanted to see how well we did against teams we've never seen before.

It was an absolute blast!  We had to rush up there on Friday, having a 4:00 game to play.  We won a close game- I think by 2!  Taylor didn't have her best game as far as scoring points.  We played again the next morning and won by a more substantial number.  Taylor was in beast mode, knocking down a bunch of baskets.  Then, we entered bracket play that afternoon, where we played a tough (and very tall) team and lost.  This was the elimination round, so once you lose, you're done.  Taylor had a great game, scoring about half the points we scored!  Unfortunately, the other team's 5'10" 4th grader (no joke) scored 22 points (all by rebounding and throwing it back up) and we couldn't do much against her.  Taylor is the tallest on our team, coming in at around 5'1"-5'2". Luckily, we were able to shake it off and have fun hanging out together that night!

Here are some pics of the weekend!

This shows you how tall that one girl was!

We learned pretty quickly that we had to take long shots... if we dribbled in, that tall girl would block it.  Here's Taylor shooting a 3 from about 4 feet behind the 3-point line!

We drove through the UT campus on our way out.
