Eva Grace made the Arkansas Storm JO Volleyball team. We were excited to see her coach was James Hewitt, who we have known since before she and Saraya were born. It was a fun experience and we all met many new families. EG was #11. We made the most of every trip, making them mini vacations instead of just a volleyball tournament.
We also ran into several of our friends on other teams while traveling to each tournament. (EG, Allie and Zoey).
She got to play in some neat locations, like the Cook Convention Center in Memphis. During this tournament we stayed the night at the Bass Pro Shop. (separate post).
Ella had many ways of entertaining herself. This tournament she got creative with some hairstyles.

Ella and I took a break and went to get milkshakes and eat at Steak n Shake in Nashville. She had earned it!
After playing ball we went exploring Nashville. We stopped by Antique Archeology, the store that sells finds from American Pickers, one of Burt's tv shows.
We also stopped by the Opryland Hotel and walked around. We plan to go back there very soon.
Don't know how she slept on the floor or bleachers but she'd had all she could stand! ha.
After the season was over her team was asked to call lines at the high school Queens of the Hardware tournament. They loved it.
Easter fell at the end of Spring Break this year. The girls spent part of that week at the farm with Grandma, Aunt Mary Dale and cousins. They dyed eggs there and did some "eggspensive" egg hunting of eggs with some big cash inside! Ella learned easy egg hunts are for babies! 
Before Spring Break, Emma and her friend, Alex, organized an Easter scavenger hunt with the Easter Bunny for the special needs kids at their school. They planned the entire event all by themselves. I was very proud of her.
