Volleyball Tournament

Last weekend was our mid season volleyball tournament.  While we have about 13 on our roster, we only had 7 that were able to make it.  Plus Matt's shoulder was still injured, so he played the whole day right handed.  We got to Washington park around 7:30 and we started pool play around 9.  Our first game we got smoked, and I'm pretty sure the other team had Karch Kiraly on their team.  I had a feeling that team would be playing in the final.

Our next games we came together and won the rest of the pool games to make the playoffs.  Some were close, others we were the better team by far.  One the playoffs started we played some better teams, but we outplayed them to reach the finals...against the team that smoked us the first game.  I think there were 2 differences in this game.  1) we were playing much better as a team, but we had to play the final with 4 players, since a few had to leave or were hurt.  2) they were drunk, we were not.  Those factors contributed to us beating them in 2 games out of 3 to win the championship!  Yay 'Set it and forget it'!

Karla and I had intended to go camping that night, but since we didn't even leave the park till after 5pm we went over to Naomi and Ryan's house.  We grilled out, made smores over a fire in their chimea and drank the beer we were taking camping.  Needless to say we crashed in one of their extra beds...so it was sort of like camping, right??

Sunday was a much needed day of relaxation, with a dinner trip to Parker to see the Eglseders and the twins.

Now we think teams should be afraid of us!!
