A week in pictures...preparing for the fall

Hey guys!

So I'm teaching all day on Fridays throughout the fall (8th grade Language Arts, in case you were curious) and will be attempting to post each Friday but otherwise you should expect a post on Saturday. Hence, today, we have a new post! Yay!

For Leon County Schools and most other schools in Tallahassee, you've completed your first week at school- congrats! Now its time to get into the flow of the fall, including coming to practice from 4:30-6:30 Monday through Wednesday and 3-5 on Thursday to work on your game at Seminole High Performance.

Its always nice to reminisce on the past times, and so we'll spend this blog reminiscing our summer camps!


The summer started off with our beginner quick start camps- the kids had a lot of fun learning how to play tennis. These three girls above were so adorable- they reminded us of the three girls from "Despicable Me!" 


The quick start camps were held this year at the Holy Comforter school tennis courts. These three are taking a quick break in the shade to get ready to compete!


After each day, we reviewed what we learned that day. The kids went home tired and happy! 


Week two of camps our coaches took the dorm campers to fun station. We had some fun with the kids go carting, playing mini golf, arcade games, and batting some baseballs in the batting cages. All Andres had to do for the kids to listen was to point at his shirt! :) 


They were supposed to take a serious face picture, but they started laughing once I took it! 


One of our coaches attempting the 70 mph batting cage. A swig and a miss! (I chickened out at the end and went into the 60 mph batting cage instead)


Week three of camps and we're with another group at fun station. They all got these drinks and ended up with blue tongues.


Some of our girls posing for a photo op!


Some more campers hanging out waiting for their pizza!

It always is nice to go back and think of all the fun times at camp. We'll see you soon for Seminole High Performance clinics and next year for more fun weeks of summer camp!

Till next Friday, tootles!
