Polo and Camp... what a weekend!

This weekend was one of my favorites so far!! Maybe because it included water polo AND camp? haha :)

On Saturday we hosted a tournament at A&M. I was excited to play, but kind of skeptical about the entire thing because I didn't really know what to expect. We had been practicing for about 10 weeks, and so I knew the girls on the team pretty well. I don't hang out with many of them outside of the pool because how we spend our nights and weekends very CONSIDERABLY, but in the water they are great people to be around.

The tourney was a BLAST! I was thoroughly exhausted by the end of it, but I loved it! I had so much fun playing on the A&M team (not to mention that a girl I know from camp who graduated from A&M last year was coaching us). I never realized how much I missed getting to play. Definitely makes the time commitment worth it!

Then on Sunday I had a camp event all day in Houston! It is called Chovember Fest, and essentially it is just a huge fall-festival type camp reunion. I had 9 campers of mine show up, and it was a lot of fun! I got pied in the face 4 times by my girls (they would win tickets for playing games that we had set up, and then could use the tickets to pie us), and I think I still have whipped cream in my ears...

There was also a fundraiser for the Honduras mission trip there. People could buy tomatoes, flour, eggs, and water balloons to throw at us while we ran through an obstacle course. Somehow I made it through the obstacle course pretty clean... that's because all of my girls then chased me around the entire site throwing things at me. I was DISGUSTING by the end of it... but I think we made somewhere around $500 to put towards the mission trip! WHOOP!

I also got to see Carley and Laura while we were at Chovember Fest. I hadn't seen Carley in about a month, and hadn't seen Laura in about 6 weeks. Seeing them was also a major bonus. I miss those two like CRAZY!!

I got back to College Station (WITH MY CAR!!) around 7:30 last night and then studied for a while. But overall, it was a great weekend!!!
