That camel joke really cracks me up

It was a ugly day for sports. The 7th grade football team lost their first game 22-0. It was a bit unfortunate because the team they played didn't have enough for an A-team and a B-team so we had to mix our A-team with B-team and the combination was not good. Drew normally plays tight end and defensive end but with the combination of the team he didn't play defensive end. Once the other team scored a couple quick touchdowns they put the A-players in on defense. Drew was happy to say, the other team didn't score once he was in on defense.

The volleyball team got swept big. It was probably the worst loss I have seen this year. They lost the first game 25-8, second game 25-12 and third 25-18. At least it was close to these scores, I am not exactly sure but it was something like that. Jess played well, as a matter of fact, as the teams shook hands at the end of the game, both opposing coaches came up to Jess and shook her hand and said, "Great game number 5". They didn't do that to any other player so that made Jess feel good about her play even though they lost.

Jess did a nice job at the net. She had 5 or 6 blocks and a couple of them were really big. They hit it hard and she blocked it back down on them for the score. She also had some good kills and even got to play in the back row a bit.

They play in a JV tournament Saturday. They have to be at the gym here in Perry at 6:30 am. The first game is in Waukee at 8:30. They should do pretty well. There are four girls on JV that start or play a bunch on varsity. They play JV because we have such a young team.

Jess is going to the Iowa State volleyball game in Ames tonight. The team is going. I think they have some type of a deal because we don't have to pay for a ticket. She wishes they were playing the Huskers so she could see Pavin but I think they are playing Kansas. Let's hope the mascot leaves her alone this year.

Drew has one more football game this season. Tuesday of next week they play in Dallas Center. It is kind of a shame it is ending, he loves football so much.

I have some pictures to post but I can't find the damn USB cord that goes from the camera to the computer. I will post them when I get ahold of the cable.

Well, the weather is going to be good today. It is Wednesday so that means early out for school and chicken, chicken, cripito for lunch.
