Blondies.

Greeting from the Spartan volleyball Seniors!
Our trip to Hawaii is bittersweet, as we know it is our last year to be a part of such a great trip and team. We are excited to start the season off right and show these other teams what we are all about. Hawaii is a special place because the team truly becomes a family, living under the same roof, making meals together, and the ability to enjoy such a beautiful place in this world. We have spent two days here already and have had the absolute best time. Our first day of arrival was a relaxed day at the house and ate a meal fit for a football team. We are so lucky to have Kathy along with us who has set in to mom mode and makes our meals, buys our groceries, and takes care of our injuries. Our second day we had an intense practice with no AC, we really got a feel for Honolulu. Later, we spent a fun filled day at the Makapuu beach and spent the afternoon wave surfing. Today is the big day! It’s Tess’ Birthday!!! The big 17! We had pancakes for breakfast and are getting ready to play games at 3, 5, and 7. It is the first day of the tournament and the Spartans are ready to DOMINATE! With our spirit of Jivvy Paw, and Boom Chicka Boom we will for sure bring enthusiasm.
Until next time
Class of 2012

Arrival!!!

Greeting from The Hawaiian Islands! We have arrived in Honolulu safe and sound. The weather is absolutely perfect and a refreshing change from the blazing hot 100 degree plus weather in Austin Texas. Once we landed, we cruised over to our house that we rented, which is about 6 miles from Waikiki and is conveniently located on the beach (I know you are all way jealous by now but had to rub it in)....
After the girls had time to unload their bags and scope out the house we jetted over to a local spot where we grubbed.
The girls being satisfied with their full tummies decided they wanted to head back to the house to relax on the beach and cruise around on the kayak. However they are currently playing Hide and Go Seek.....Tess Coates has been dominating......no surprise..
Tomorrow we have a practice at 9:00 am and then we will head over to University of Hawaii to watch a little bit of the volleyball team in one of their preseason practices, followed by some beach time.
I will try to keep updating this at least once a day.
Until next time
Aloha
Jen
