God's Girlz takes 1st place at Regionals 2015!!!!!!

 Before quizzing started.

 Hannah took 4thplace in individual points & her team mate took 3rd.

Well, the title says most of the story. It was actually a very close meet with all 3 Arizona teams tied for 1st place. The tie breaker is by team points and as you can figure out, God's Girlz had more points. 

We were happy when Regionals got moved to southern California (Costa Mesa) from CO. It saved us time & money. Because quizzing was scheduled for 1pm on Saturday, we woke up super early & drove over the morning of the competition. Then we only stayed one night which was free off Best Western gift cards we won. 

After quizzing, we went to Huntington Beach with the other teams & after that we went to Cold Stone with Hannah's team mates. Then we crashed at the hotel after our day. We planned on spending Sunday at Downtown Disney for lunch & shopping and a stop at the Knott's Berry Farm Marketplace for a little browsing in their Snoopy store. After a dinner at Shakeys, we headed home around 6pm. We got in around 11pm. Todd took Monday off so we went to see the Avengers movie. Then we started a Disneyland puzzle the kids bought me as a belated birthday present.

So I'll post beach,Downtown Disney, & Knott's pictures soon. 

Joshua's birthday is coming up and instead of a party, he has decided to have a day with his best friend. He wants to go to Peter Piper Pizza & to see the Avengers again. I'm going to attempt a Captain America themed cake. We haven't picked a day yet but sometime before kids get out of school. We'll also schedule a JBQ reunion party once the pool water is a bit warmer.
