Volleyball

Tehya's volleyball tournament was in Raleigh this past Saturday. We went up Friday evening and stayed in a hotel since it was 2 1/2 hours away. Saturday was a loooooonng day. We were up at 6:15, eating breakfast at 7:15, and headed to the vball site and got there at 8:00. There were 15 teams playing all from the same age group. This place was very tiny. There were 4 courts, 3 being used for play and one where the players and coaches had their bags, blankets, and pillows spread out. The facility director stood on the counter and made the announcement that when your team isn't playing to move your chairs and go outside, so everyone can watch their team....Hello, it was starting to rain and it is the middle of winter. We just left chairs and everyone shared and sat wherever. Brooke and Isabella were very very good. It can be hard (and boring) for siblings to have to tag along to all day events like this. This is where DS's and DVD players come in handy. Luckily, it only rained in the morning and we were able to sit outside and they could run around. We finished up there at about 8:30. After stopping for dinner and having to pee 2 times we got home at 12:30. We were exhausted. The team made it to the playoff round and lost. Because it was late in the evening they only played one game to 25 to see who would advance. We just don't have that "killer instinct" yet, but once our team finds it, they will be amazing. Tehya was wonderful....Her coach said she was the player of the day and that she has definitely earned her spot on the team....Hope she keeps it up~!!!!!
