After dinner, everyone went out to practice sports.

The Girl finished her second day of tryouts today, and she came home feeling pessimistic about her chances of making the team. But did she give up? No way. On the way home, she and K stopped by the Y and signed her up for youth volleyball. And after dinner, she was out practicing an overhand serve as well as her underhand serve.

“You really should master the underhand first,” I suggested.

“I know, but this is what we were working on during tryouts today,” she replied.

The Boy finished soccer this weekend, but he’s still keen on practicing. For a while there, I was tossing the ball to L for her to practice passing and trying to kick the ball back to the Boy.

Occasionally, the two activities almost collided.

Finally, the Boy, exhausted, took a break

and then gave me some tree-climbing lessons.
