Default Just call the kiddo lucky!

I went back to the beach volleyball court I worked last night. I only got to work one half before some kids came and wanted to play volleyball. I talked my kiddo into coming along, but I knew we weren't going to be out long because it had been 105 degrees today.

Anyway we are just getting started and she says, "You have to sweep under the net". Since I am standing right there, I was headed there anyway. I hadn't completed my first swing and we got the coin bing. She reaches down and scoops up a nickel. About 5 steps further on, a penny. I come back and forth a few times. I said to her, don't let me forget to sweep across the back because people serve there. She says Oh no dad, you need to sweep here because people serve from here. She steps back and the ACE bings again. A dime at 4 inches. Nothing more on this side of the net.

I decide to cover the other side of the net. We get a a couple of pull tabs and then nothing for a couple of minutes. She says, come on bing already. Two steps later, bing bing bing. Out comes a penny.

Then she got pretty cocky and drew a circle in the sand, but there was nothing in the circle. I had been checking the edge past the sand but she said check the edge. Not ten seconds later another coin. I whipped my head around to check and see if she had been burying coins. These were all pretty crusty so I believed her when she denied it.

So out of 9 hits, we got 7 coins and 2 pull tabs. I think I am going to duct tape the kid to the ACE250 !
