Cruise Day 3-March 30th

Today was a full day on the boat.  We did lots of fun activities like the climbing wall, pickle ball, volleyball, ice skating, more flow rider, miniature golf, ping-pong, swimming, and more.

Tanner Signed with Hawaii

Tanner decided to play one more year of basketball.  He had a 5th year because of Covid.  He is going to play at the University of Hawaii.  He and Emilie went and did a visit there this weekend and just loved it.  They are so excited to go and live in Hawaii for a year (and so is everyone who wants to come and visit and watch him play)!  They had been talking to the Hawaii coach when they were leaving Idaho before they went to Utah Tech.  They really wanted to go then, but the night before they were going to do their visit, another long shot recruit that Hawaii had offered months ago, decided to commit, so they didn't get to even go on their visit, let alone sign with them.  But this time the Hawaii coach wasn't going to let Tanner get away.  The Hawaii coach was in Vegas when Tanner put his name in the portal.  He drove up to St. George that day and took Tanner and Emilie to dinner.  He told them that the collective could pay Tanner a lot of NIL money and that they really wanted Tanner to come and play for Hawaii.  Tanner and Emilie were sold.  It's going to be an awesome year!

 

Cruise Day 2-March 29th

We couldn't get on the boat until 2pm today so we had a lazy morning.  Then we drove around Cocoa Beach and went to the pier.  Then we got on the boat and met up with all the family at the flow rider. 

There are all these inlets that have houses and docks on them.
