Violet has been SO excited for Bocce Ball season for get here. Unfortunately, the entire season was wrapped up in one tournament this year, but she made the most of it! Her bus made it to the tournament in Lawrence.
Violet was on Wellsville Eagles Red team.
We were there in time for the Opening Ceremony (which included one of the athletes doing a great job of playing the National Anthem on her flute) and then it was time to get playing!
The first game was a little rough, so we won't talk about it. The second one was much better and we beat Lawrence High 9-3!
One of the highlights of my day was when I saw a dear friend from Violet's days at the LeAnn Britain Center, who was there with her kiddos. Violet and Jace are birthday twins and were in class together when they were babies/toddlers. Here are our big 16 year olds!
And this is the last time we saw them in person, back in 2015. They've changed a bit in the past 11 years.
And here are pics going back even further, to when they were 3 and 2 years old. I'd say the only thing that hasn't changed is my inability to get a decent picture of the two of them together.
Violet wasn't nearly as excited to see Courtney and Jace as I was. She was mostly excited to see her sister and her Aunt Joy & Uncle Scott.
She also loves hanging out with Austin, who is on one of the other Wellsville teams.
And possibly her favorite person right now is Dave Johnson (aka "Not Today Dave"), who often drives their bus. She got a fist bump after their big win.
She also ran into a friend from church, Kate, who was playing for Lawrence High.
Waiting for the medal ceremony. . .
Third place! Way to go, ladies!
I love that Kali and Nora have been on Violet's team for the past 3 seasons. They are such sweet friends! And Graceanna was a great addition this year, too. They had a great tournament and a great season!
