Dinner With The Coaches

Ashley, Jessica, and Millie joined the coaches for the last Dinner With The Coaches on Wednesday night. Jessica made an amazing breaded chicken and green beans with help from Casey...Ashley, Millie and Gabe made the mashed potatoes...and once again Sally really didn't do anything as far as we can tell other than eat...After dinner we had some of Ashley's (Lil Ash as she is known to the team) famous strawberry shortcake. It was amazing! Then it was time for Catch Phrase. Millie, Sally and Gabe dominated! The "sprinkle" celebration is amazing!

WARRIOR DAY!

Landmines = Landfills

Tonight's Dinner With The Coaches (DWTC) ended on a very shocking note when during a heated game of Pictionary Boogie attempted to draw landmines by drawing a landfill...This picture was taken at the exact moment assistant coach Sally realized that Boogie thinks they are the same word. Other than this ugly incident which sent everyone into fits of laughter the dinner which included great BBQ burgers made by coach Casey, amazing strawberry shortcake made by Emily, Kim's baked beans, coach Gabe's corn, and Sally's...well nobody knows what Sally did...was amazing!
