We picked up Grandpa and Hailey from the airport the day after we got back into town. I had just enough time to get things put away and beds set of for guests. It was a quick turnaround, but totally worth it because we love having Grandpa and Hailey here. And they came with us to volleyball camp all week. I didn't get any pictures of volleyball camp, but it was tons of fun. Hailey helped do some coaching this year; she is amazing and Grandpa does so much with my varsity level players while I run the younger camps. I love doing volleyball camp with them. Natalia, Sienna and Estelle all participated in camp this year and they each did great. They all have friends that play volleyball with them, so camp week is just loads of fun for everyone. It's fun for me, but exhausting too.
We had a couple days with Hailey and Grandpa after camp ended before they had to go home. We went into the City with Hailey one day and went to Ford's Theater. Hailey got to earn a junior ranger badge with the girls.
We played lots of games, hung out with the Van Dams and even went out to dinner at our favorite Cajun Seafood Boil place. We made fun of Grandpa's white legs and we all had a good laugh when we compared to him to Natalia who always has a nice tan by the end of summer.
We were sad to see them leave, especially since we knew we would not be seeing Hailey for awhile. Grandpa was sick the last couple days he was here (Covid with mild symptoms). The day after he left, Natalia got sick and then the day after that the rest of us were sick. We had one week of unscheduled summer and we were all sick and lethargic and just stayed home and watched TV and napped. Not how I saw the week going, but I was grateful at the same time. It would have been really hard to be sick during camp week and even worse to be sick the following week when volleyball tryouts began. So even though our one week of summer at home was kind of dud, at least it was a week that we could just sleep and not worry about things. Thankfully it passed after just a few days and we were back to normal by the end of the week and ready for life to be busy again.
