Dancing on Parents' Night

It was Parents' Night for seemingly everyone at the Ships game Friday night.  My sissies were no different.

Such a nice family.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here's the real Ed.

Elle and her parents.  She gets her hair from her mom.

Eden has been too busy serving aces to learn the routines, so Anna was the only sister on the field during the Parade Young Girls on the Field to Boost Attendance Kids Clinic performance.  As such, she was charged with welcoming a half man to the field. 

Whudup?

And a few others.

Anna's favorite part of the game.

And, just like that, it was halftime.  Time to shine.

What is this gimmick?  Lame!

You'd think they were talking with Austin or Shav.

Let's see that kick line in action:

Big finish ladies.

New hair trend?

You can't beat that school spirit.  Or the look on the drummer's face.

9/10 Manitowoc Ladies Tennis Tournament

With Ashwaubenon and Roncalli taking on the Lady Ships on a perfect Saturday afternoon, I knew I had to catch my favorite tennis players in action.  The Ships beat Ashwaubenon in early AM action, but lost to Roncalli later in the morning.  I saw Eden and Megan lose to Roncalli 2-6, 2-6, but they looked like they had fun both during and after the game:

That's some good dental work.

Onto the action:

What do you think of those calves, Hansther?

Eden, you don't look ready - why not?

*yawn*  Oh, right.  NONE of you teens are getting enough sleep.

Jonah must've just walked by...

It worked!  She's awake!

Now we're swinging it with vigor!

Ready position, finally!

And let's not forget my sort-of sister, Seidl.  She also had a tough match against Roncalli, losing 1-6, 4-6.  But I think you'll agree, she looked great doing it:

"I am going to kill Tanner for blowing me off like bubble gum."

Loosen up, Seids.  Pretend that ball is Tanner's head and give it a whack.

Excellent!  Again?

Yup.  I think I found a way to motivate her.

OK, OK.  Easy.  He just wanted to watch the Badger game.  And it's not like he knows how to use a DVR.

Seids - were YOU the one who taught that to Jonah?

These next three photos are my favorites.  Thank you, Seidl.  That shot was brilliant.

So.  Many.  Jokes.

That's just AWESOME!

You can almost hear that classic, ladies tennis grunt...

She's all over the place - she got the moves like Jagger.

Gratuitous calf-muscle shot.

Slicin'.  Dicin'.

Just because she didn't win doesn't mean she didn't kick ass:

Seidl: ass kicker.

Eden didn't care, though.  Just one more time she got her ass kicked today.

Besties.  Always.

9/6 - Ladies' Tennis Meet

0-6, 4-6.  Boo.  My favorite women's doubles team lost their first home match of the season.  But that didn't stop Eden from being Eden:

Special Ed.

They did have some good shots, though:

The other highlights from the number 2 doubles match:

Two words: Calf Muscle

Eye of the Tiger

Great form, Eden.

Great pose.

In other tennis news, my sort-of sister Seidl crushed her opponent in number 3 singles, 6-3, 6-0.  That made me want to do a double cartwheel all the way. 

Take that.

And THAT.

AND THAT!  (BTW - apparently tennis defines your calves like the Situation's situation)

Unfortunately, the Ships lost to Sheboygan North, 6-1 (wait, Seidl was the only one who won?).  But remember, ladies, it's not whether you win or lose, but how entertained the fans are:

Uhhhhhh... Get 'em next time?
