Brady, Britt and I took a walk in between Brailey's games, which was, ironically, near the Murray Business Center on Murray Blvd. It was a beautiful day, and so nice to get out of the noise of the building.
Brailey is starting to feel more comfortable with her team. She was getting fired up, which is really fun to see. Their first game of the morning went to 31 points! They won it by two, and then had to go another two sets. They won! Every game went to three sets, this day. They held their own, but didn't come up with the W's in the rest of the games. However, they still ended up 2nd in their pool - not bad! Because the games went so long, the last game didn't even start until 6:30. Yes, it was a very long day, but it was full of playing time, and that is what it is all about - experience! We certainly got our money's worth on this day.
I know I'm her mother and probably barn blind, but is that the sweetest face you've ever seen?! Her spirit is so precious. Below, her serves are getting more powerful. She has a lot of refining to do, but as you can see, they are nearly a jump serve, and a couple of them were so powerful they hit the back wall! This is a big improvement over last year, when she was still underhand serving.
During a small break, she took the opportunity to enjoy Brady's World Famous Volleyball Chair. It may be heavy, but it is definitely comfortable, and Brady refuses to attend a tournament without it. Britt, as you can see, is enjoying the action immensely!
The next day was Super Bowl Sunday, and Britt was in heaven playing up on his hill. This is his favorite place in the world. It is so fun to look outside and see him acting out scenes by himself, complete with talking and sword fighting and shooting pretend guns that are actually sticks. Another fabulous weekend in the books! And now we are in to FEBRUARY, already! Next week? Britt's birthday! I'm sure he will look much happier in those pictures. Stay tuned!
