We have been busy this Fall, which feels so much more normal than our "no activities" Spring we had. Estelle has been playing soccer twice a week. She is loving it. I have been coaching a rec volleyball team for Natalia. It is different for me to be coaching a bunch of 6th graders since I am used to a higher level, but it has been really fun. We have to play outdoors on the grass, so that has been a different challenge as well. Sienna finally got cleared to play sports again after the broken arm. It was too late to sign her up for any sports, so I organized a basketball practice once a week with her friends. We meet at the school outdoor courts every Wednesday and it is really fun to play basketball and see friends.
I have been doing outdoor activities with my Young Women's group every week as well. They are such a great group of girls. I also started doing volleyball workouts with my high school kids twice a week. We have really strict Covid rules at the high school, so it has been interesting trying to plan the most effective volleyball workout on a football field without a net and only two kids to every one volleyball. No touching and maintaining 6 feet distance the whole time. But it is great to be back with my athletes in some capacity. So, as you can see, our weeknights are back to being busy...just the way we like it.
On the weekends we have been playing some pickleball and enjoying friends. Natalia made a new friend and they spent a day baking together. We even found time to visit our favorite obstacle course park and do some golfing with Grandpa! ...and Hector and the girls have been doing LOTS of Lego building.
