Tale of Two Cities

We went to our campground this weekend to do some relaxing and of course, enjoy the weekend. It was all about volleyball this weekend. Our neighbors (campsite next to us) are from Ohio and they have older children - two girls (one is in college and one is going to be a junior in high school) and one boy (will be a senior I think). Anyways, the two younger ones are usually there each weekend and we have come to find out that they LOVE volleyball. They brought friends and cousins with them this weekend and unfortunately, we only had Tyler. The good thing was our neighbors included Tyler in their activities and with Ben enjoying volleyball as well, it made for a "volleyball tournament weekend." I personally don't like the sand volleyball because I don't like the dirt. I don't mind it every once in a while but Ben could live it if he could. Maybe it makes him feel younger??? ha ha

Anyways, Gabi started enjoying the sport of volleyball as well and Ben is just sure that she is going to play volleyball...we'll see...Gabi has a love of many things so it could go lots of different ways. My parents were also able to come up and bring us some YUMMY buttermilk sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies from Das Essenhaus. Here are some pics from the weekend on our end of the state.

Then there was Trenton...in Rensselaer for the Team Indiana camp. He kept us very updated by texting and calling. We were concerned at one point because he said he had hurt his knee. I guess it's not too bad but we will keep an eye on it. He was very excited to get Pro Power gear as well as his official Team Indiana wear (he got a sweatshirt, bag, singlets, shorts and t-shirt). Check it out!

Again, I want to thank everyone who sent in money to send Trenton to Fargo for Nationals. A couple of people I would especially like to thank is Aunt Annie and Uncle Jay, Dad R and my parents. Their contributions were fundamental. Thank you!
