Sorry its a little late. :) Click one of these to read part 1 & 2 of the Volley Ball series.

Hmm. How to begin?
Well, Tuesday my mom was sick, as well as 2 of my younger brothers. So, unfortunately we did not go to co-op. :( We were kind of bummed out, but understood and excepted why. Still hoping to be able to make it to P.E., we started asking if she would just take us then(P.E. starts at 2). “Maybe” was her answer, but then Ben(4) became feverish and we knew it wasn’t going to work.
Then my dad got home at around 1:00, surprisingly. I asked him if he wouldn’t mind taking us to P.E., expecting the answer no. “Sure!” was his reply. Ok, wasn’t expecting that, but hurray!! We got ready to go, and left at around 1:45. We got there about 10 minuets early, and talked to the few people who were there. People from co-op showed up in the middle of stretches(as always) and joined us. We did the normal push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and the mile run. Finally it came to the time that made P.E. worth it, Volley Ball. Us girls finished our run before the boys, so we started out practicing our passes, and such. When the boys finally showed up, we did the same thing with them. At 3:30, we started our first game, which we won barely. This time I could hit the ball, but I was still having trouble on my aim, so usually it went flying over to the right. Whoops. All of the sudden Coach says “Alright, this side has 23(us), this side has 24(them). We’ll go to 25 and then switch sides.”
So we serve and it goes over the net and nobody hits it. One more point for us. Then they serve. I’m at the front-right corner, not a very good place to be when you haven’t ever hit the ball over the net. I say “Don’t come to me, ball” under my breath. It must of not heard me ’cause it came flying right at me. “Oh great”, I think. I take a step back, get in position, and hit it…over the net it goes! They hit back over and Joshua(middle) jumps over and hits it back over the net. Spencer goes for it…miss! We win!! Now we switch sides and what-not. In the very beginning of that game Katie leaves, and shortly after that Lizzy and Josh leave too. My dad joins in, and we win again. I learned how to serve correctly in that game. That’s good.

I had a lot of fun, as usual. We’ll do it again on Tuesday, and may be I’ll be able to get the ball over the net. Maybe…
