Off to a busy start!

The volleyball season is off to a busy start for Mason!  After tryouts last week (Monday and Tuesday) and practice on Thursday and Friday, they had their first game on Monday!  It was a challenge but they were able to get into a little bit of a groove and pull off a win!  That was followed by a practice on Tuesday, a day off on Wednesday, then a very long tournament day on Thursday!  They started playing at 3:15 p.m. and finished 8:45 p.m.!  They were able to pull off a first place finish which was very exciting (and nerve wracking!) to watch!

Our nephew Eli is playing volleyball again this year also at his middle school so they got to play against each other and Matt's parents see them play.  

Here are the scores from their games:

Beat Mesa 15-8

Beat Los Osos 15-7

Beat Atascadero 15-11

Beat Paulding 15-8

Lost Templeton 10-15

Beat Mission 15-7

Beat Judkins 15-11

Beat Flamson 15-12

Lost St. Pats 15-9

Beat Atascadero 25-14

Final

This is from when Eli's team was playing Mason's team (Eli served!)

These two videos are from the final game when Mason was serving.  

And here is the winning team!

And today Anna got in a good ride because the rain this week was early enough that it dried enough.  As we were waiting for them to finish dragging the arena we saw this squirrel enjoying the sunshine!  

After her lesson we went and visited the new baby horses!  These two were more friendly that some of the others.  

Thankful for a more restful weekend this weekend!
