1st Official Day at the First Championships.

 My humidified lens this morning.  Oh it was way too early to wake up this morning!

We started off the day right into Practice Competition.  What a wake up call to why we are here.  We definitely had a few glitches, but the boys were great in taking it in stride.  They definitely practice their core values today in prepping and supporting each other.
Here is a view from the scoring table I was sitting at.  Our team is right at the first of the short clip, on the right.  8 tables go at one time.  Then there are 8 tables that get set up and go right after.  There were 106 teams that practiced today.

 Here the boys are huddled up at their team practice for their Core Values Presentation.  They spent the early afternoon practicing and then presenting their projects.

 This is right outside of the Convention Center.

 Opening Ceremonies was tonight.  Here some of the boys are playing ping pong

 And then some are playing soccer.

We ended the park a bit early.  The boys were tired.  We went out to Olive Garden and then back to the house to sit and be still.  It was very nice to come home earlier tonight.  We have to be back at it, leaving at 7am again.
