So Bridget, without any experience or knowledge of the sport of tennis, figures she would try-out for the Freshman team. I practiced with her a couple times before try-outs and thought to myself -- at least the try-out process would be a good experience for her. Trevor did the exact same thing, the exact same year of school (try out just for the fun of it,) but he could at least hit the ball back over the net. I know that sounds mean, but just wait...

Try-outs were a week-and-a-half long and Bridget made the squad by sheer determination and upside potential. I practiced with her this past Saturday, after she had been practicing with the team for a couple weeks, and WOW what an improvement.
She had her second match today. Won her first singles and doubles match on Monday and won her singles, but lost the doubles today. Check out the Escalade Limo "school bus" they took to and from the game today.


Must be nice, eh?

This is Bridget hijacking the blog. Yes, the limo was fun. The boys' tennis team said it was sexist that we got the limo and they had to take the cheap van. Oh, and my dad isn't that great either!!

Limo's are rather affordable in the middle of the day, in the middle of the week (supply and demand.) ...and so much better for the environment than a big billowing school bus -- yah that's it -- it was for the environment.
