Funny Day for the Kids

Chic-Fil-A Cow Appreciation Day today.  Dan went with IK buddies, rocking the costume kit from their web site... free meal.

Jamie and the kids did the same, later in the day.  Same kit, free meals for all 4.

Got home, and Jamie DROVE THE PRIUS ONTO THE FRONT YARD GRASS.  Car wash.  Avery, Ben thought it was absolutely hilarious.

Totally ghetto, ... but kind of makes sense in the gnarly drought we're in here in California.


Boys Water Polo Update - 2 weeks to JOs

Kind of a weird summer of polo.  James (coach of Carlsbad Water Polo club program) setup a trip to Croatia for whoever could go ($2000 + flights).  Get on a "cruise ship" and go up and down the Croatian coast, stopping each day to play water polo against the locals.  So a handful of each age (18, 16) jumped in (Nathan, Jake, Bennett from Connor's possie) leaving a slim crew behind to practice for JOs.

Ben playing in his first big-boy season (prior to this it was splash ball).  12U White 1.  They are playing pretty well, won the last 2 tournaments (against marginal competition).  He's not playing a ton, so when White 2 is also playing at the same pool, he plays in those too.
This past weekend, he played 6 GAMES in the single day!!  Super stud, and EXHAUSTED, still paying the price, being kind of a jerk to Mom during the day.

Both boys have been doing beach workouts - 3x a week, then night practice.  C games during the week, up in OC and down in Coronado, all in an effort to get game experience before JOs.  Fun Run was last week - boys do various exercises and competitions (including carrying 40 lb sand bag) running in the soft sand from Carlsbad beach tower 32 to Army/Navy and back in the soft sand.

JOs in 2 weeks, in the OC.
Team hotel up there, should be fun.
