Instead of a late morning conditioning session the Hornets headed to the margins of Michigan, specifically South Haven to enjoy an absolutely incredible day at the Beach. Water temperature was a very comfortable 75 degrees. The girls were put under strict order to apply sunscreen liberally and drink plenty of water. In fact, they took their own Gatorade cooler full of ice water with them. Beach activities included, laying out, reading, frisbee, volleyball, sand Hornet building (Yes, they built a Hornet made of sand), and swimming or was it just standing in the water?
After a couple hours of lounging and relaxing lakeside the girls headed two blocks east of the beach and were graciously hosted by K alums Barry and Liz Smith and their beagle Elle for a late afternoon lunch. What a meal! Pulled pork and grilled portabellas, along with coleslaw, pasta salad, fruit salad, chips and an amazing dip, and cupcakes too. The meal was INCREDIBLE and the visit was a superb break for the team and coach after six full days of soccer. Pictures will be posted soon! Week 2 officially begins tomorrow as the 2010 schedule as real games will kick-off in less than a week. Plenty to do before that whistle blows.
Thanks Again to Liz and Barry for providing a great retreat for the team today! What hospitality!
GO HORNETS!!!
