There was a flat screen TV out on the back patio but about the only thing we watched on it was the women's World Cup Finals match. This was probably the most soccer most of us had ever watched but it was exciting to see the US represented...too bad we lost. :)
The funny thing about living in the Ipod/Iphone age is that you can play games with each other without actually talking or interacting other than a little smack talk now and then. I'm not encouraging this way of playing games, but we found ourselves all playing "Words with Friends" (basically online scrabble) with each other while sitting in the same room. Almost every night after coming in from the last swim of the day and showering we all had wicked games of "Words with Friends" going with each other (except for Brian who does not have an Ipod or an Iphone but didn't feel left out in the least because he was probably out getting more grapefruit).
Bryson is so strong that he could lift his body out of the water and go up into a handstand. I got him on video doing it, but the next day when I got my camera out and asked him to do it, he and Brian had just gotten back from the gym and his arms were a little tired from lifting weights. He still got this far, he just couldn't get all the way into a handstand. (That's in the deep end so he didn't have the floor of the pool to push off of...just brute arm and ab strength.) I'm sure I could totally do that if I tried...hahahahahahaha.
Since I had my camera out the kids wanted me to put it on sports continuous mode and do a fun photo shoot. I was having a heart attack the whole time thinking they were going to land on each other but they never did...they just came awfully close a few times. :)
I thought for sure Bryson was landing on Hailey in the picture above but you can see in the picture below that Hailey got out of the danger zone before Bryson landed.
Brian was very helpful and kept the floaties out of the way during their trickery. :)
Back home after the trip.
It was so great to spend a week with Bryson before he leaves. We love him so much and it was so nice to have the entire family together for some uninterrupted bonding time!
Ummm, wow! Thanks for sharing so many pictures from your trip, ESPECIALLY the sports shots. Those are AWESOME!!! or, as Ellie would say, 'mazin (a.k.a. AMAZING).
