Well, the Olsen Volleyball Association, the OVA, was well represented yesterday at the College of Idaho Grasshopper tournament. This was Anne's second year of playing in the tournament. She played with Heather, the head coach for Caldwell High School whom she assists on the varsity team. I was able to play this year with a friend who moved out of our ward a few months ago (also a really good mountain biking buddy). It has been years for both of us, but we did steal a game for the day's matches and was able to hang with the other 7 men's teams. So overall a pretty good day besides every muscle in my body hurting and a sunburn on my head. I thought my hair was long enough, but it apparently is not. So my first appearance on the Boise outdoor volleyball scene was far outshadowed by the spectacular performance of Anne and Heather who ended the day with a second place finish. I'm always proud to be her husband as she represents herself very well both on and off the court. She was able to win a $30 cash prize and another pink shirt to add to the collection. I'm sure we provided a few smiles and chuckles to the other tournament participants as we juggled Andrew and Beck, or maybe I shoulde say chased around the facilities. Andrew is fun to watch as he is quite the social bug, trying to get other kids to play with him. I'm so proud to be Anne's husband. I do complain sometimes about volleyball share of the Olsen family time, but in the end I'm proud of Anne and her accomplishments. I mean what else would you do with about half your weekends if there wasn't any volleyball. We're all looking forward to Lake Almanor. It should be a blast and yes we are taking the long route through Reno just so we can go to In-n-Out on our way there.
