Blog post 1: Mid Year Holidays report

After semester 1, we had a 4 week holiday which was good. My holiday wasn't exactly action packed but it was good enough. 

The last day of school was the first match for Holland in the FIFA World Cup 2014. My family are soccer fans, including myself. Throughout my holiday I would wake up on some days at 12, 3 or 4 am just to watch a match. When it comes to that, I wish there wasn't time difference. But waking up at those times was worth it. Holland didn't win the world cup, but we did really good for a tiny little country. 3rd place is good enough for me!

Thom and I also wanted to start getting tennis lessons, so my dad found someone that could train us. We had 4 lessons in the holiday which we really enjoyed. It's going really well for us, which our tennis coach said. She said that what we were doing on the 3rd lesson is usually only achieved after a couple months of training. So that made us both really happy.

Since we were enjoying tennis so much, for our birthday we each got tennis shoes, a sports shirt and a tennis racquet. That was really cool. We didnt have a party but we had a 3 hr tennis lesson and we just enjoyed the day with family.
