FOOD FIGHT!!!!!

Last night was the last of the very first volleyball season at SST for the middle school girls. We went out losing, but having a blast! I am so proud of my girls for all of their hard wrok this season. I look forward to what we will have next year. I was reminded of a great story when I got back to school with a couple of my girls last night. I don't remember what brought it up, but it is such a funny story I had to share it with my two girls that were left waiting for their parents. Here it is:

My freshman year of college we went to Massachusetts and New Hampshire to play UMASS and Univ of New Hampshire. We were on the road to New Hamp the morning following our loss to UMASS. We had three vans and the first van was being driven by our head coach and the other two by one of our assistant coaches and our graduate assistant. Let the games begin! All of a sudden, out of nowhere, this peach comes flying at our windshield. BTW we were in the middle of the highway, going 60 mph with traffic around us. Then the van in front of us starts slowing down and moving over to the other lane. We had no idea what was going on so our driver sped up a little to take the second van spot. As we were passing the side door of the other van flies open and we are attacked with smashed bananas and grapes. The fight was on! We pulled ahead and had a couple of people eating some fruit so we could have ammunition. Banana peels, peaches and grapes were flying all over the highway. At one point in a time a truck that was following us got a banana peel to the windshield. It was quite funny, dangerous, but funny. In the lead van, the poor girls in there were looking back and giggling then getting in trouble for doing so. The coach was in a bad mood so everyone else had to be in a bad mood. One of the lead van girls calls another player in one of our vans and tells her what is happening in their van and wants to know what is going on with us. Once the word was out, the game was on. Too bad the lead van didn't get to enjoy in the ride of a lifetime. We get into New Hamp and are on our way to the hotel in whatever little city we were in and the middle van decides to get the lead van involved. We see someone hang out of the passenger window of the van with a bag of grapes in her hand. Before we know it the grapes are on top of the lead van. The van takes off and the bag starts to fall but it was caught by the luggage rack, whew! At the next stop we see the bag slide forward. We didn't know until we got out of the van that the grapes were falling out of the bag over the windshield. As the grapes roll, the girls in the van laugh the driver is confused and has no idea what is going on. We get to our destination and the girls get out of the lead van half smiling and laughing and half with scared looks on their faces. Did we get into any trouble? No, no trouble, just dirty looks from the coach and applause from our teammates. Oooooh, what a memory! I look back on that and think about how dangerous it was, but so glad I have a food fight story to tell. Awesomeness!
I should finish grading the tests that have taken me a week to grade so I can get all my grades in by noon today. Hope this brought a smile to your face and have a wonderful day!
