Real Volleyball Tournament
Ok so today we woke up at 8:30 and got ready and headed to Nelson. In the car were my grandparents, uncle, mom, dad, brother, sister, and a lot of bags. Today my grandparents and uncle left to go home and we sent them with some of the stuff we did not need. They packed the night before and they have more then just 3 bags. It looks like 3 bags on the outside but really on the inside we have big bags down to little bags in there original suitcases. The good thing is they are not overweight either. So we went to Nelson for day one of the first real volleyball tournament. We only had 3 games today but we are in the top bracket. The first game was against a pretty decent team and they beat us. They won the first 2 then we won one and then they won the last one so it was best 3 out of 5. The second game was really easy but the team came back in the third set and almost beat us. During the game it made me pretty mad that the team we were playing was ahead of us because they were supposed to be pretty easy. So when it came my time to serve I just hit them as hard as I could and that cooled me down a bit. Also when I served it kept going to the same person so I guess I was spot serving without even knowing it. We won that game. Then we had a break and I was starving because I had only eaten two apples which is not that smart when you are about to play a sport. They did not really have a concession stand but they were selling hamburgers, apples, and candy. Not a very big variety. So I made my sister split a hamburger and we bought a bag of apples. Before this my grandparents left so we said goodbye and my sister and grandma cried a little. Anyway after we got all that we went outside with two of the players. One was the nice German girl and the other was a Kiwi. That is what New Zealanders are called. We shared the bag of apples with the rest of are team because there were a lot. Then we went and took score for another team and got ready for the next game. It is not very smart to play two games take a break and try to play another. You just are too zapped of energy and don't want to get up. The team that we played were the best in the bracket. They looked like they could be in college. We lost. Then we took the German girl home and headed back to are/our base camp. We ate dinner and basically laid around until it we were tired.
