Nationals in Council Bluffs and Pie Night

We went to Nationals Last week with Amanda's team from Salt Lake Community College. We had a great time in Council Bluffs, Iowa and Omaha, Nebraska. These two cities are right across the river from each other. Amanda's team took ninth place. They lost the first match and then won three in a row to win the consolation bracket for the tournament. They played really well, and we were so glad to be there. Megan went with us, and it was great to have her a long.
Here is a great shot of Amanda off the floor during warm ups.
I couldn't resist putting in this picture of Amanda with a great smile from the middle of the pre-game huddle.
I should have taken some more action shots, but I didn't take the camera the first couple of days. Here is Amanda on the floor, ready for the serve.
We went to the Winter Quarters Temple. We had a tour from a really cute sister missionary from Brazil. She was so happy to take us on the tour, and so full of the spirit, we couldn't help but just listen to her tell the story. Here is Jeannie and Megan standing in the cemetery, at the back of the temple.


This last picture is from Pie Night at the Carters. This is Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Most of the time you don't really enjoy dessert on Thanksgiving, so we have Pie Night the night before, and we eat pie and play games and have a great time. We will probably have some pie tomorrow after dinner too.
