Rugby weekend

BYU Rugby & International Sevens Tournament at Petco Park

We had a big rugby weekend around our house. The BYU Rugby team was in town and one of the biggest international rugby tournaments was in San Diego down at Petco Park. Todd helped the BYU team arrange housing with local families and got a chance to hang out with the team and coaches. Was a lot of fun.

The "Sevens" tournament was back in town this year. I took Bella last year and we had a great time watching all the international teams (and crowds!). This year they had a lot more stuff for kids, plus Sydney and Preston love the "park in the park" at Petco so we had a good time. Sydney wanted the Welsh flag (she liked the dragon on it) and Preston got a mini-rugby ball (super excited about it). I sported my official Fiji team jersey that I picked up while in Tavarua last year. Go Fiji!

We also took a break from the rugby action to find our "family brick" up by the Tony Gwynn statue at the "park in the park" at Petco. It took a little while but we found it! It's pretty cool and will be there for years to come so the kids can always come back and check it out. I guess if we ever have more kids we'll just have to scratch another name on there when nobody's looking!
