Vic Braden Tennis Camp

Last weekend I went to the Vic Braden Tennis Camp in St. George with my mother-in-law Sherry and 3 sister-in-laws, Carly, Megan, and Nichole.  I wasn't extremely pumped about it, considering that I look like a blind person swatting flies when I play tennis.....but I am so glad that I went because we had an amazing time!  During tennis camp we played tennis for 3 hours a day for three consecutive days.  After the third day, every muscle in body was aching....even my hair hurt.....seriously! 
Sherry's mother Marva { who is 76 years old!} and 10 more women from my mother-in-laws tennis league also came.  Here is a picture of a few of us just before we played some intense tennis.
Here is a pic of Meg, Carly, and Sher walking to the car at about 6 am.  They are a little camera shy in the wee hours of the morning.  Can you believe we got up that early each morning to hit a teensy yellow ball with a raquet?            Ya......that's it!.....Maybe they should make the balls a little bigger so that I could actually hit the dang things!
OK CASS!.....enough with the picture taking already!
After tennis camp on Saturday, a few of us confiscated Sherry's Tahoe and drove to Vegas... YEAH BABY!  After a little shopping, we ate dinner at Wolf Gang Puck's restaurant.  I love that place.  
I had to post a few pictures of Carly at "TWO and TEN."  We made the poor girl drive in horrible Vegas traffic.  I think she was pretty freaked about wrecking Sher's car.
Yep......she was a little.........tense. 
Ahhhh.........we made it safely......not even a scratch.  The passengers were also unharmed in case you were wondering.  

Thanks Sher, Car, Meg, Nichole, Marva and the OAC tennis girls for the awesome and memorable trip!  I hope to do it again sometime!

You are brave! If I went to a tennis camp I would look like a fool, I haven't played since college. I'm glad you had fun!!!

Lucky Girl! I'm sure you are better than you say you are. Sounds like so much fun! I got to see Ava and Sadie on Friday. They are so cute! My dad couldn't leave Sadie alone, and I think Natalie was a little freaked out by it! Ha ha. Super cute kids.

That sounds like it was a blast. I've been wondering where you have been. I still need some major help with my blog, so if you ever find a free moment then give me a call.

I share the same frustration with tennis! That stupid ball!! I just finally end up throwing my racket across the court and storm off. Nic say's I need to work on my sportsmanship...I disagree. ;)
