Volleyball Rollercoaster

We rode the volleyball rollercoaster all weekend.
We were scheduled to go to Boise on Friday for a tournament that Brooke would be playing in on Sat. We were really excited about this trip because we had so much fun last year.
Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with this trip. We waited all Friday morning for IVA to decide whether or not to go on with the tournament scheduled in Boise (the biggest problem was that the roads were closed from the Utah/Idaho border most of the morning). Finally, aboaut 1:00 pm we found out that we officially were not going to play the tournament in Boise but instead at Open Court in Lehi. We were all bummed to not be going on our fun little weekend away but relieved at the same time to not have to travel in bad weather.
We went ahead and did a team bonding night on Friday night and went to Training Table for dinner and then went bowling. The girls and moms had a great time.
Saturday was a down day, unfortunately, because the girls really struggled in the tournament and lost all 8 games that they played. By changing the tournament around our team got moved up a division and thus played higher ranked teams. Their first two games were really tough but they improved from there and almost won several of their remaining games. It was definitely more frustrating for the parents and the coach than the girls. They tried hard and never gave up. We decided to still go out to eat after the tournament and have a good time together. Hopefully the next tournament (in 2 weeks) will go better.
