Volleyball - Roomba & Fitness

 

We had a lot of firsts this week... first we started to set up our new Roomba. Remy hates it and was rather stressed. We are still figuring it out and it is still mapping our first floor. I have high hopes this will be awesome going forward!


Second - volleyball has started! We had our first tournament at Cedar Point this weekend and it went well. They are doing a slightly different format this tournament where the matches have a max of 50 minutes - it proved to be tricky in close games and we would have placed higher if it wasn't for the time limit. We literally missed to play for 3rd place by 1 point and about 10 seconds. Seriously. Even with that, our team did really well. The first tournament is always a little rough - figuring out the rotation and other things but we placed top 6 of the tournament in the Gold bracket. We couldn't have asked for a better start! I have lots of high hopes we actually have a team and can play. It was a little sad that Heidi isn't on the same team as her friends, but at least they were there and we could see them play a bit. 



One thing we all have to get used to again is getting up super early to get to the tournaments! I was wiped out!

And Gym class scavenger hunts...


And our final first for the week was we FINALLY received our new gym equipment. It took forever to receive. I really like it. It is a little tricky with the ipad/tablet they give you and the bluetooth sync - we have had some buffering and issues - but I spent time yesterday downloading all updates and rebooting and so far so good! We are ready to get buff!



I think we are in for some fun volleyball! Heidi is improving her skills and the coach we have is great. He actually is great at giving feedback and pushing the girls. Go Spirit!
