WOW!!! What a WILD WEEKEND for the Klimek Family! We had several things going on this weekend, one for Andrew, and one for Abby. Andrew had his State Basketball Tournaments this weekend in La Crosse, and Abby had her Destination Imagination Regional Competition in Osceola.
~~~
Jamie, Austin, and Andrew headed out for La Crosse on Friday night to spend the night at the Days Inn to get ready for the tournaments, while Abby and I stayed here in Barron to get ready for Abby's 6:00 am departure for her Destination Imagination (D.I.) competition on Saturday morning.
~~~
Abby has been worried about her team's skit coming together, because people were having trouble remembering their lines, and some of the kids were messing around instead of practicing. Well, it all came together in the end, and the kids put on a GREAT performance on Saturday for the judges!!! They had so much FUN during their skit, and the audience really enjoyed watching their play, too!

Abby and I had to leave right after her performance to head to La Crosse, so we were unable to stay for the Award Ceremony. Abby called one of her coaches tonight, and found out that her team took FIRST PLACE!!!!!!! They are going to STATE COMPETITION on April 19th at UW Stevens Point!!!!!!! We are so proud of Abby and her D.I. team -- they did an AWESOME job for their competition! GOOD LUCK AT STATE, "IMAGINATORS"!!!

The Barron Golden Bears had an AWESOME day of basketball on Saturday! The boys played 4 games on Saturday, and they ended the day UNDEFEATED!!!! They posted wins against
Edgerton, Sheboygan Falls, Marinette, and Notre Dame (Green Bay)! Andrew nailed a big 3-pointer at the buzzer of the half during the first game, and he had some big free throws throughout the day to help in their wins. He is pretty solid from the line!!!!

Waiting for the ball on the line...
Sunday was a harder day for the boys...
Our first game was against Wisconsin Dells. They were a tough, fast team. We really competed well against them, and if we would have made some missed shots, we may have won. (Wisconsin Dells went on to take first place in the tournament...)
~~~
Our second game against New Berlin for 5th place was another close game, but in the end, we just couldn't pull it out. The boys played hard, and were exhausted by the end of their sixth game in 2 days. They ended the tournament with sixth place overall out of the 32 teams that were invited to the tournament. There are hundreds of teams in the whole league, and they placed sixth in their bracket in the tournament, so they did really well! We are proud of how well they did this season! Way to go, Andrew and the Barron Golden Bears!!!!
~~~
A HUGE Thank-you to Grandpa Denny, Auntie LaNita, Grandpa Ken, and Grandma Deb for making the trip to La Crosse to cheer for Andrew and the Barron Golden Bears! We appreciate you coming to watch the games, and Andrew really likes having family there to see him play--it sure means a lot to us that you made the trip for his games! Thanks, everyone!
~~~
Now that the traveling season is finally done for Andrew, he has sign-ups for next year already next week!!!

Here is Andrew again at the free throw line...

Have a great week, everyone!!!
