Cam had a tennis match at Northwood tonight and it was the closest one of the season for Bethany. The varsity ended up on the losing side of a 3-2 score, but JV won 7-6. Fortunately for Cameron his match at #1 JV singles wasn't the nail biter than #1 doubles was with Cam winning at 8-3. I was proud of how well Cameron had played this evening. His opponent was a year older and threw a fit every time he lost a point. Cam didn't let that bother him, held his composure and took control of the match. He struggled a little bit in the second game with his serve, double-faulting three times. He was impressed with himself for getting that game to a deuce point even with the serving difficulties he was having. Overall, he was pleased with his game and we were happy to hear that Matt had texted him earlier in the day to let him know how impressed he was with Cameron's work ethic.
It was Doug's turn to stay and bring Cam home tonight, so I left earlier. I really thought that they would be close behind me, but with a three set tiebreak match on the #1 doubles court I beat them home by almost an hour and a half. I was thankful for that as I had ordered Doug a surprise gift this week and wanted to get it set up before he arrived. We had talked multiple times this summer about getting a portable screen for the projector. The sheet worked well, but we thought it'd be nice to be able to move it around the yard. That way we could watch it while on the deck or at the bonfire pit. Amazon had a sale on them this week and I decided to give it a try. Thus, when Cam and Doug got home with Bourbon Street pizza I had the Nuggets vs. Clippers game on the big screen outback. Doug wasn't as suprised as I thought he would be, but he really appreciated it. We were able to play Ticket to Ride tonight while watching the Nuggets make a great comeback and then sit by the bonfire and see the Raptors lose in game seven to the Celtics. Between Cam's match and our time in the backyard tonight, it was a great way to start the weekend.
