Swimming!!!!
Swimming is probably the best sport ever invented!!! (thank you fishes!) Its probably the only form of excersise that makes you have more energy. Before swim this afternoon I could barely move and now my foot won't stop twitching! (Seriously its like it has a mind of it's own). It also makes you smarter. Example: I am able to think of things to say that are both entertaining for you, and really fun to type for me. (aka... the exclamation points!!!!!! gotta love em!!!!) Before swimming...... its just too depressing to think about.... lets just say my writing was crap!!!!!! :)
Soccer!!!
On Saturday I got to play a soccer game!! Daddy dropped us off at a field saying he had talked to a coach who had talked to a guy who would let me play (something like that-- I wasn't paying attention). We found a guy who was the coach of some girls my age and he let me play even though he had no idea what mama was talking about when she told him about all that other stuff. I ended up playing 3/4 of the game and getting a nice rainbow colored bruise on my leg from a girl stepping on me. Yahoo!!! I also am still sore from it and its like 3 days later. (Thats also why I love to swim-- it doesn't make you so sore).
Volleyball!!
Nothing really to say here because I haven't actually played it yet. The coach has been wanting me to join and, when the PE coach saw me do some drills in PE he asked me to start coming to the practices. Then, when I told the parents, they started bugging me about it to the where I just really didn't think I wanted to anymore. (I know that doesn't make sense, but I don't care). Then I changed my mind yesterday for some reason that I can't remember and I am going to go to the meeting tomorrow at lunch. I really can't believe all those coaches were going so crazy because I really have never done any volleyball except for PE stuff. Mama played though... maybe its genetics??

PS: did you notice that all the paragraphs are different fonts? if you didn't you are either too old, you have bad eyes, or both (probably both) hahahah love you bippy and gramps!!!!
PPS: hey there everett!!!!!!!!
Hey. I DID notice!! At least "sort of" notice the first time by. It's harder for Everett to notice, since he gets your blogs read to him and font doesn't translate so well to voice. [Now there's a challenge!]
ReplyDeleteAs for swimming--it sure does also beat hiking up mountains. We did some reasonable day hikes in Sun Valley last week. I was happy to get back into the pool and swim laps on the FLAT!
I hope everyone stops pushing you to play volleyball--'cause I'm curious how you like it. So, I want you to want to play. I'm getting the impression that you and the rest of your family are all-star material in every sport there is in NZ. Climbing Bishop Peak all those times wasn't for naught!
Be well and keep the news coming. Much love, bippy
Mia,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about swimming. I was never really a swimmer until I moved to Singapore and took some swimming lessons. It's awesome! So relaxing and makes my head clear.
I'm glad you're doing volleyball. It's one of my favorite team sports to play and watch. Hope you like it! Just remember: Bump, set, spike. That's all there is to it!
Mia, I just learned to swim a little more this year. Nate and Caleb coached me last summer a lot! Running used to be my thing to relax and release stress, but now I swim:) Swimming hurt my feet/ankles less. I love volleyball, also. I played in high school and one year in college. Then I coached at the high school and junior high for 6years. I miss it now. Uncle Mark and I still play in the winter time on a church league. You'll love it too. It's in the blood:)
ReplyDeleteMia,
ReplyDeleteI was routing for you to join volleyball for some reason. The volleyball genetics will come in handy. Have fun with it and you new friends.
Yeah I did end up joining the VB team and I'm glad I did!!! It's really fun and I really do think its in the genes cause I've never really played it before besides sometimes in PE and that doesn't really count.
