Rockin' Weekend

This weekend was a blast and the weather was amazing with sunshine!  After practice on Friday, Cory and I went to Taku Lake to relax and chit chat on a blanket in the grass.  We also got him a maroon Nike dri-fit shirt and we got "Dimond Lynx" screen printed onto it, so he can now have a Dimond shirt to wear during games.

Saturday we had to wake up early, 6:45AM, for a 9AM Tournament at Service High school.  We had a lot of game play and had a lot of fun.  I had the girls do "secret spikers" which is like secret santa for team bonding.  The girls were really happy with the gifts they received.  The parents were a lot of help and they were great supporters.  They were so kind to buy the girls snacks and pizza for the tournament.  Cory was great on the bench, supporting the girls too.  I got the girls gatorade and Heidi, a girl from the team, made maroon and gold headbands for everyone.   Anyways, the girls not only played amazing,  but they beat everyone in the league.  They played 8 games total, including the Championship match.  No team could get to 20 with us in score.  Talk about domination.  Everyone did great and I wish I could name all the Kodak moments, but that would take a lot typing.  The girls had great serves, awesome digs, and aggressive hits.  They deserved 1st place and I hope we keep it up all season.  When the tournament was over, Cory and I headed home to take a nap.

Relaxing at Taku Lake

When we woke up, we decided to eat at Tastee Freeze for some hot dogs.  We waited a little bit for his friend, Brandon, and his wife & kids to show up.  They wanted to go to Kincaid Park and we were happy to show them the Kincaid Beach.  When we got there, the tide was out.  Cory and I prepared to play in the mud and had our bathing suits on.  Brandon and his family didn't know what to expect so they weren't prepared, but they still played in the mud with us.  I knew I should of packed some extra clothes.  While we were there, the tide came in, which was pretty exciting to experience.  The Non-Alaskans got to see such a thing.  We had a lot of fun out there.  After the beached we all went home and cleaned up.  Cory and I went over to Brandon's house, which is in Palmer to keep the fun going.  I really liked hanging out with them, plus their little boys are fun kids.

On Sunday, I had another senior photo shoot to do.  His name is Willie Philips and I have known him since he was in elementary school.  He is my brother's best friend and I was honored to take his pictures.  I took him out to Beluga Point and McHugh Creek.  A lot of his shots were similar to Nors.  He wants to be a physical therapist one day and I believe my brother and him plan on becoming roomates.  Well I haven't edited any of the pictures yet, but once I do, I will post my favorites on here.  So stay tuned.

All in all, the weekend rocked!
