Volleyball Champions

My middle girls love to play volleyball!!
Three years ago, when we first started participating in a local homeschool group,
they were given the chance to be a part of a volleyball team.
For three years they have traveled two hours away for 

an annual all-day volleyball tournament,

and for two of those years they have taken second place overall.

Well, not this year!!!!

This year, this hard-working team played their hearts out 

and were determined to come home in first place,

and THEY DID!!

First Place!!

These girls just ooze determination, good sportsmanship, kindness,
and a love of the game!
What a great opportunity for my daughters to learn the principle of not giving up,
 it takes time to build a team, encouraging each other,
and courageous teamwork!!!
