July 29, 2011 Ty's Tennis Tournament and Yoga

Today, we had to wake up at 4:30am and then had to drive to Littleton, which is where his tournament was being held. We arrived around 7:00 so he had about half an hour for him to warm up with my dad. The court was very....unique. There were six courts total and the whole thing was located in what can only be described as a bubble.After a while, his opponent arrived and they played their match. This match took about an hour or so but Ty finally pulled through by winning the third set/tiebreaker. The next match was one and a half hour later so we bought a light snack and made shadow puppets in the park.
Finally, 11:00am rolled around and Ty was off to play another match. This time, he lost but at least he was a finalist so he got a trophy. (Still, I can't believe his opponent won! That guy didn't hit any winners and just tapped the ball, waiting for the other player to make the mistakes. Funny, that sort of sounds like my opponent, Ruth...) I don't remember my opponent from last year getting anything like that. Now, I would give you a picture of the trophy but I can't find it and the picture that my brother took is in the camera case which is in the car. Basically, that means no picture because of misplacements. All I can say about the trophy is that it's different from mine (the one I got from last year) because mine's made of plastic while his is some sort of metal.
We drove back to Boulder and my dad went to work. Since he needed the rental car to get there, my mom, my brother, and I lounged around, watching TV, reading, and checking our emails. While I was watching some animated show, it began raining so my mom opened the door to watch the rain. To the right of the backdoor was this black kitten (okay, it's either a really old cat or a kitten. It's hard to tell the age of cats sometimes.....) that was so cute. It crawled over to us and let us pet it and let my brother take some pictures of it. Not very good ones because it kept moving but good enough. Once again, I would put some pictures of it but the pictures are on the SD card that is in the camera case which is in the car. I'll try finding a picture that looks like it but don't count on it.

This was the closest thing I could find but it just lacked the cuteness factor.
Once my dad arrived around 6:30pm, he changed into more yoga appropriate clothes and we drove over to this yoga place called Power Core Yoga. While we signed up, I had to change my birthday so I would be 13 (13 was the minimum age you had to be to be allowed in the classes. It's more of a matter of maturity more than anything). My new birthday is 01/24/98! Then again, it's not like it matters if I was 13 because I can be very mature when I want/have to be. I mean, it's not like I disrupted the class by giggling or talking. I was actually really quite. The yoga class we took was the free hot power yoga. Okay, it's a specific type of yoga but I can't remember the name. (If you don't know, hot yoga is yoga in a heated room that makes you really sweat and power yoga is more like aerobics.)
The class was actually fun and it really made me work. I guess my favorite position was the half frog because it doesn't really stretch much and it was really.....relaxing. Once again, I have no picture and I can't find any pictures.
I just want to take a moment and say: I found this drink and I bought it without realizing that it's suppose to make you sleepy. I drank it before Ty's match and I (almost) fell asleep in the park.

I'm kind of scared of the drink because I don't know the side effects so I'm just going to avoid it and maybe pour it down the drink. Another drink thing is that WE ARE OUT OF GREEN TEA! In LA, the hotel had complementary tea (and lollipops). As always, my brother and I took advantage of this and took tons of tea packets. We have all this tea like, Chamomile, Darjeeling, Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Black Tea, Orange & Spice, English Teatime, Raspberry Royale, etc. but not green tea, my favorite. AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!
