This week has us all worn out, in good ways but we are now looking forward to a more "normal" week! It started with volleyball practice Monday night for Mason. On Tuesday night all three of the kids were busy with the normal Tuesday night rehearsal to get ready for the football game on Friday. This was the first time the boys were playing with the high school and it was great to see them enjoy an activity together! Wednesday there were no kid activities so that meant a little breathing room. Thursday afternoon Anna had her sectional practice, and her first behind the wheel driving lesson! Very exciting and we have already had her do more driving! Thursday night Mason had another volleyball practice. So by the time we rolled into Friday Mason was already tired and it was a super full weekend for him.
Friday night the high school was hosting their last game of the season. It was great to see them welcome the 8th graders onto the field with them to play Eye of the Tiger and the National Anthem before the game.
The then made their way to the stands but the space was rather small for all of them to squeeze into. The middle school has 70 band students and the high school has about 120. Eventually they got there!
We are thinking Anna's head shrunk! Her hat is the same size as last year but we sure don't remember it fitting this low last year!
The high school went down at half time to play the first three movements of their field show. Next weekend they go to their first competition!
And after that, Mason and Matt headed to Fresno because Mason had a volleyball tournament that started at 8 a.m. (which means getting there at 7 a.m. to warm up). It was a late and long drive but Mason was happy to be there and not stressing on Saturday morning.
They played three games. The first game they won the sets 25-19 and 25-21! The second game they dropped the first set 20-25, but won the next 25-10 and won the tie breaker 15-9! The third game was a tough one and they lost the first set 19-25 and they lost the second set 21-25. As Matt put it: "dang they played hard through!" Way to go!
At home Anna and I were off to the barn early in the morning. It was a foggy morning which made the barn seem rather magical! And there was a solar eclipse so part way through her lesson we paused to look through the special glasses we have. It was cool to see but we got a better look after we got back home where the fog had cleared.
Then Olivier got picked up for a special treat! Off to the airshow with Grandpa!
And Anna and I went to see the Taylor Swift Eras Tour movie with Grandma! She had been asking a lot of questions about the concert, especially since all three of her granddaughters had gone to the concert so we went to the movie together! It was fun to relive the concert and we noticed things we had missed during the original concert too!
We made it home and after about 24 hours apart, we were all back together and home. And the busy weekend wasn't done! And today my work hosted our annual bus roadeo! Olivier who got the most sleep Saturday morning went in with me to help support the startup. He was there for the full event and got to judge when Matt came with Anna later in the morning. Poor Mason was so tired that he slept for more than 13 hours and we gave him a pass this year on coming to the roadeo, especially because he still had volleyball practice this afternoon! One of my co-workers got this photo of us as the event was kicking off.
