Just a Saturday in Waco, Part Two

After starting our Saturday at the Downtown Waco Farmers Market, we headed to Baylor to watch volleyball. The women had won their season opener against LSU on Friday night. In the morning light, with fewer fans, we arrived to cheer them on against Texas State.

There is a loyal following of students and parents, and it was a fun game with a 3-0 win. I was also impressed the games open with a prayer and the National Anthem. The players work hard when they hit the floor and celebrate every point. They beat Texas State 3-0.



The lady bear was so cute cheering the team and greeting fans. I've never seen a female mascot before. I'm not sure if this is unique or because I have sons, but I thought she was adorable.

Tim and I hung out with Scott during the afternoon and even took time out for coffee, but at night it was back to volleyball. This was Baylor's third game of the weekend tournament against Marquette. The evening match began with lights and excitement, and then the girls got to work. It was a tough match, but they ended up winning 3-1.



Once again, I've been impressed with the friendliness of the people in Waco. Despite the incredible heat, the people are kind and outgoing. We enjoyed our Saturday in Waco, and it was even better spending time with Scott and Kelli.
