Day 4

Bret has arrived home. We got the text around 6:22 a.m. to get him. It ended up only being a 12-hour drive instead of the 14 or 16 that they were saying earlier so that was nice. He's in bed now! Probably the first sleep he has had in days.

Day 3

Bret finds out today how his team finished. He said last night that they did well enough to qualify for the Global Tournament in Miami, Fla. South Beach here we come. JK! They get back on the bus for the ride home later today and arrive should arrive back in the morning just in time for Mother's Day.

UPDATE: Bret's pics include on his way to go-kart track, Louisville Slugger Museum, some river, expo center...

UPDATE 2: Bret is now leaving.

As an individual he was 547 out of 1007.

231 0 BRETT REETZ POUND MIDDLE SCHOOL LINCOLN NE LANCASTER

Team 51 of out 56 elementary school teams.

Day 2

Bret shoots at the National Archery Tournament today. He was all excited last night and is hoping to shoot his best score over and that is over 220. I'm proud of him no matter what!

UPDATE: Just found out he shot a 231. He is happy and said he had fun. I said, nervous? And he said, for what? :-)

UPDATE 2: He says they are 4th overall in the middle school division. I'm not sure of all of the teams that have shot. I was thinking that there was a separate sixth grade team too.

Day 1

Bret is off to the National Archery Tournament in Louisville, Kentucky. They left the school in the big charter bus around 10:15 p.m. last night for the 14-hour ride. He is going to be sending pics back through the days. The first one is with his friend, Colten, and the second is the dense fog that came up in the wee hours of the morning. The third is at the hotel around 11:40 our time so it was around 14 hours.
