southerns

the highlight of the summer in our tennis world was going to macon, georgia, to play in southerns.  however, the weather didn't exactly like us while we were there.  this is what welcomed us to town.  i took this picture from our hotel room when we checked in.

and it rained off and on for days!!!!!  they would get the courts dry, we would get on them for 20 minutes, and then it would rain again.  my phone was blowing up the entire time with news of 4 hour delay...6 hour delay...8 hour delay....canceled for today....show up tomorrow.  over and over again.  they did get a few matches in somewhere between all the storms.  and, they got to watch a few good matches as well.

we pulled up to the courts one afternoon ready to play, and as soon as we got in the parking lot....this. somebody said, "hey, look!  it's a raindrop!"

 so, we left to go bowling and play laser tag.  this team may be good at tennis, but they sure stink at bowling!!!  ha!  i think they fared a little better with weapons and laser tag!

but, it wasn't all bad!  we did find the ice cream, of course!

and, we look forward to representing mississippi again next summer!!
