Circle City Turnament

     This weekend, I had a volleyball tournament in Indiana! I left Friday after school to go up to the hotel. When i first got to the hotel, it was only me and Bailey. Before Bailey came, i was up in my room, all alone, watching Criminal Minds. All of a sounded, I heard knocking on the door. At first I thought it was my parents, but when I went to the door no one was there. Then I heard knocking again, and this time I herad  a mans voice say "Open to door, or I'll break in!" I started fricking out!!! So i dialed 911, and had my finger on the call button, when the person called out "It's me! Bailey!" I was so mad at her! After we hung in my room for a while, we went out to dinner! That was tons of fun, because we went out to the pond and feed ducks my potato! Though the ducks started to hiss at us, so we ran away!
     The next day, our team and I went to Walmart to spare time before going to the gym for our games. At  Walmart, Mackenzie and I bought a Eore (from Whinny the Pooh!) I named mine Peekay, and she named her Peepay! Then after Walmart we went to the gym for out turnament. We won all of our games that day, so we ended the day in the running for gold! The next day was the same again! We won all our game and won gold! We were happy because the tournament was 14 division and we are 13s! So we all got a metal and our team got  a plack!

13 Union Garvey&13 Blue V.S 13 Red

 This weekend I had a Bluegrass Qualifier tournament. This tournament decided if my team got to go to Atlanta during the summer for a big tournament. But to go, we had to play two teams. The first team we had to play was 13 Union Garvey. The second team we had to play was 13 Blue (the team ranked one level higher than my team.)

While warming up to play Union, Bailey and I's stomach started hurting really bad. Bailey felt like she was about to throw up, and mine just hurt. Our coach gave us some medicine to try and make our stomach fell better, but Bailey's stomach still hurt after taking it. But mine felt fine afterward. When the first game started we were kind of shocked at how good Union was, because we played them before earlier in the season, and we didn't remember them being that good. Then our coach told us that Union wanted the bid to Atlanta really badly, so they combined Unions #2 and #1 team together so they were double as good. Our first game against them we struggled with passing so we lost. Then the second game we picked it up a lot, but they were just to good, and beat us.

After playing Union, we were really ready to play 13 Blue. We have played them before, and the won both times. So we were all ready to beat them. The 1^st game we did really good. It was 7-1 in the first 5 minutes! Then Blue picked it up getting the score 10-20. My team was really mad they were winning so we picked it up, taking the game to 34-32. Sadly Blue won that game. So on the 2^nd game, some of our passers just couldn't seem to pass it up, so we lost at 15-25. I was really upset (as so was everyone else on my team). I know, and many people even Blues parents, know that my team is really, really good, but for some reason, whenever we play Blue, we just freak out and don't play like we normally do.  

Emma and I

On Friday, I went over to Emma’s house! She picked me up in the morning to go and eat breakfast at Wild Eggs! Wild Eggs is my favorite breakfast restraint! I always get their pancakes! Their pancakes are so big! They are like the size of my face! So I couldn’t eat the whole thing! Emma got some French toast kind of thing! I don’t know what it was called, but it looked really fancy!  Mrs. Augyo also got a fancy breakfast platter! While eating we talked a lot about high school choices that was fun because I got to hear about different schools.

After eating we went to the mall. Emma and I first went to Sephora. We both love that place! They have so much makeup there! We spent tons of time looking at Sephora’s lipstick, eyeliner, and cover up!   Emma bought some new eyeliner and lipstick, and I bought some cover up and lipstick! I felt fancy because it was Dior lipstick! I know its sounds weird, but I felt fancy!

Then we went to Bath and Body works! It was my first time back in Bath and Body Works because last year my friend and I got kicked out. My friend (Lexie) was going to spray the good smelling perfume. So she went to spray it, and it turned out it wasn’t perfume. It was some shampoo foam stuff. So she sprayed it everywhere. It got on the table, floor and on me and her. So the lady that worked there told us we could leave while she cleaned up! So I was very happy to go back! I love that store because it smells so good and happy in there! They had new lotion, so Emma and I smelled that! I didn’t like the orange kind, because it smelt like my grandmas.  I bought 3 different lotions! I bought them and decided to let my mom pick the one she wanted for mother’s day!

Then Emma and I got some drinks from Star Bucks and sat down by the fountain. While sitting there we saw Lilly Brice and a relative of hers! It was fun to sit down and people watch! We saw many families with little kids that were all dressed alike! There was these three girls that were about 5 years old, and they all were dressed in pink dresses and had white bows in their hair! They looked really cute! We also saw some people that were dresses really weird. I won’t say what they looked like it was that bad!

After our break, we went to Von Muar. We went up on the top floor to look at the prom dresses. They had so many beautiful ones! While looking at the dresses we saw the one the Gillian (Annie’s older sister) bought! It was a really cute long tie- dye dress!  Emma and I picked our favorite dress out. Mine was the green and white dress with one strap. Emma liked the black and gray dress that had sparkles on it! It looked super cute! While there I also bought some cute, but really big sun glasses!

After the mall, we went back to Emma’s house to eat lunch. We eat some Jimmy Johns sandwiches! Then we walked over to Graters for some ice cream. Walking there was tons of fun because me and Emma planned each other’s futures for each other!  I told Emma that she would marry a doctor and live in a big yellow house and own lots of land and a pool. Also that she would invite me over to her house a lot when she was older, and we could lay by her pool and catch up on each other’s life’s! Once we got to Graters we got our ice cream than sat outside. We sat on the sidewalk right by the road and watched all the people in their cars. That was fun because we talked a lot and got to see all the weird people in the cars. One car that went by had two 60+ year old men.  The two men honked at us and waved….I was slightly disturbed. Then we walked back to Emma’s house.

Once back at Emma’s, we hung outside. That was fun, until the fire ant army came and attacked us. So Emma and I tried to make a coke boundary to try and keep the ants out. That didn’t really work so well. Then after that, we went out for dinner at El Nepal. After that they dropped me off at home. It was a long super fun day!

Team Sleepover

                Last weekend, I went over to my friend and team mate, Bailey’s house. She was hosting a team sleepover for all 10 girls to attend!

                Before getting to Bailey’s house, I was very mad at my parents for running late! The party started at 4. But we didn’t leave till 4! I will admit that I too was a little slow, but they were really slow! I took a nap before going to Bailey’s house because I had gotten very little sleep the night before, and didn’t want to be tired for the party. After my parents woke me up, they said they were ready to leave. I had already packed all my stuff up so I was ready to go, but they just “had” to do some last minute things! Then once we were ready to go, we went to go out the garage door to our car, but there was the killer bee! This bee has been stalking us for the past 3 weeks! So I went through the front door to get to the car, but my parents just waited until the bee flew away! By the time we got to Bailey’s it was 4:30! UN COOL!

                When I got there, all of us went and took a tour of Bailey’s house! I had already been there one before, but I didn’t mind looking around again! After we took the tour, all 9 of us (our team mate Olivia was going to get there later) decided to go out to Bailey’s back yard to her trampoline! It was tons of fun! All of us would sit on the trampoline while others did tricks! I was unskilled though, and could do nothing but roll across the surface of the trampoline! We all felt like rebels being on the trampoline and doing tricks, because if our coach was there she would have freaked out! After all of our teams history with being sick and injured, our coach has been super protective! When I got off the trampoline, I looked down at my feet and realized they were covered in black stuff! I started to freak out, when I noticed everyone else had them on their feet to, and that it was from the trampoline!

                After playing in her yard, we went on a neighborhood scavenger hunt! We broke up into 3 teams. I had Bailey and Brenna on my team! Each team got a piece of paper that had items on it that we had to get. Things such as chip, string, marker, pony-tail, and other small things. Each item was a point, and if a team got someone to sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” on our phone, that counted as 5 points! And we only had 30 minutes to do it! WE had to be back at 6:30, and for every minute we were late, we had 5 points taken off! It was tons of fun going to people homes! There were some very strange and funny people! We got one of Bailey’s neighbors to sing the song for us, and she did it in a country style, adding her own very interesting dance moves! We got 3 other people, plus her to sing the song, so that was a total of 20 points! We went to one girl’s house, and I think she was afraid we were going to beat her! She opened the door barely enough to see her, and she talked very quietly, and keep looking at us with scared eyes! She was only 5 though, so I guess I would understand her being scared when 3 crazy 13 year old come to her house asking for a toilet paper roll! We had everything on the list, counting 4 singers, and we only had 2 minutes to run back to Bailey’s house! So we had to run through have of the neighbor’s yards, to get to Bailey’s house on time! Luckily, we were the 2^nd team there! Once everyone was there, we counted up our scores to see who won. MY TEAM WON! We had 44 points!!! Everyone else had only 20 or so points! Our prize for winning was  a money balloon!

                After the scavenger hunt, we eat pizza! Also Olivia showed up! That was fun because I hadn’t had Dominos pizza in forever! After dinner, we all got in our bathing suits and went into Bailey’s hot tub! It was really cool because the hot tub had changing lights and a built in radio! In the hot tub we played would you rather and truth or dare, and we also talked volleyball stuff. We talked about the teams we were going to play this weekend, and about other team players, and skill. Then Olivia and Brenna really wanted to go into the pool (which was 30 degrees!)! So we all jumped in the pool at the same time. IT WAS FREZZING COLD!  The only bad part about going back into the hot tub was that it stung!!!!! But we got us to it!

                After drying off and getting into our pajamas, we decided to watch a movie. While some of the team mates picked out a movie, Bernie, Olivia, Mackenzie and I, went up stairs to get some drinks. When we got upstairs, we saw that Mr. Smith was watching Night Mare on Elm Street! (One of my favorite movies!) So we sat down to watch the last 15 or so minutes. Brenna came up along with some other girls, and I told them not to scream at the end. They didn’t but I did! After calming back down, we went back down stairs to watch the Cat in the Hat. You could tell no one was really interested in watching it, because we were all on our phones, and on facebook looking at hot guy’s pictures! Then after the movie we were all pretty tired so we went to bed.

                The next day we had cinnamon rolls for breakfast! They were really good! After eating we went outside and played hide and seek! It was really fun! Then we went (some people) went back into the pool! While in the pool we had Brenna teach us some water exersizes! It was super funny! I took a verdio of her teacheing it, once i got out of the pool!Though after we played for a long time, I had to go home with Bernie, Stephanie, and Mackenzie. I was really happy that Bailey had the party, and very sad to leave! But I didn’t stay sad for long, because we all were planning the end of the season sleepover party at my house!
