WATER POLO

 SOQUEL vs SALINAS

1. 

BRITTNEY, LIV, AND ABBEY ARE THERE TO CHEER ON SYD AND THE TEAM.
NOT MY BEST PICTURE TAKING BECAUSE IT WAS DARK, AND WE ALL KNOW HOW WELL THE FLASH WORKS FROM FAR AWAY.

SYDNEY AND # 6 ON THE OTHER TEAM GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER PRETTY WELL THROUGHOUT THE GAME.

 NUMBER 20 SLIPPED IN THERE FOR A WHILE.

AND THEN

 OH NO, NOT YOU AGAIN!

 SCORE SYD!

AND THAT'S WHAT SHE DID. HER TEAM WON WITH A
 SCORE  OF hmmm, I THINK, 14 to 2.

 IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN,

THE LADY KNIGHTS ARE UNDEFEATED.

AFTER THE GAME, WE GATHERED AT A FUN BURGER PLACE IN TOWN FOR DINNER.  THANKS TO BRITTNEY, I EVEN ENDED UP IN A PICTURE.

IS IT GOING TO RAIN- - -

 AT SCIENCE CAMP THIS YEAR?

SOPHIA'S HOPING NOT.

I REMEMBER QUITE A FEW YEARS BACK WHEN HER OLDEST BROTHER WENT TO SCIENCE CAMP, IT RAINED THE WHOLE TIME.  HE HAD THE BEST TIME EVER!

SOME THINGS

 YOU JUST CAN'T GET RID OF.

MY "VINTAGE" 36 YEAR OLD LOGAN SWEATSHIRT FALLS INTO THAT CATEGORY.

I WORE IT FOR ALL STEVE'S HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAMES, AND TO A GYMNASTIC AND SWIM MEET OR TWO.  IT RETIRED WHEN ALL THE HARRIS KIDS GRADUATED, AND HAS BEEN HANGING IN THE BACK OF MY CLOSET EVER SINCE.  

TODAY WITH LOGAN PLAYING DE LASALLE  AT LEVI STADIUM, IT WAS THE PERFECT TIME FOR THE SWEATSHIRT TO COME OUT OF RETIREMENT.  I BROUGHT IT, EVEN WITH A FORECAST OF  84 DEGREES IN SANTA CLARA.  LUCKY FOR US, THEY ONLY OPENED THE SHADY SIDE OF THE STADIUM.  LUCKY FOR ME, I WAS ABLE TO WEAR MY OLD FRIEND AGAIN.

WE GOT THERE EARLY, AND MET UP WITH JENNY AND MIKE AND THE KIDS.

WE WERE IMPRESSED WITH THE STADIUM FROM THE START.

IN MY OPINION, THERE'S NOT A BAD SEAT IN THE HOUSE.

I WAS IN AW OF THE BIG SCREENS.

INTRODUCING 
THE LOGAN COLTS!

JUST LOOK AT THESE SKY BOXES. (I think that's what their called)
I THINK I'LL ASK MIKE'S AUNT LINDA IF SHE'D RENT ONE OF THESE FOR US.
(Remember, she's the one that rents the A's box every year)

SECOND QUARTER AND DE LASALLE IS AHEAD BY 14 to 0.

HALF TIME FINDS LOGAN LOSING 42 TO NOTHING.

SINCE IT WAS CONSIDERED DE LASALLE'S HOME GAME, THEIR BAND ENTERTAINED AT HALF TIME.  THEY WERE GOOD, BUT IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN, OR HEARD LOGAN'S BAND, YOU'D AGREE THAT IF IT WAS A BAND COMPETITION, LOGAN WOULD BE THE WINNERS.

LOGAN CAME OUT WEARING THEIR RED, WHITE, AND BLACK.
PINK SOCKS?  I'M THINKING IT'S FOR CANCER AWARENESS MONTH.

FOURTH QUARTER, ONLY A FEW MINUTES TO GO, AND LOGAN SCORED.
THEY SHOULD GO HOME PROUD THAT THEY PLAYED THEIR HEARTS OUT, AND SCORED AGAINST ONE OF THE BEST HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS IN THE NATION.

I'M PROUD TO WEAR MY LOGAN SWEATSHIRT.
EVEN THE GRANDKIDS THOUGHT IT WAS COOL.
I JUST MIGHT HAVE TO CATCH ANOTHER LOGAN FOOTBALL GAME BEFORE THE SEASON IS OVER ,AND IT ONCE AGAIN FINDS ITSELF IN THE BACK OF MY CLOSET..

PERFECT WEATHER

 FOR FOOTBALL

GABE HAD AN AWAY GAME TODAY, AND IT WAS A HARD FIRST HALF ENDING WITH THE OTHER TEAM AHEAD 3 TO 0.

SECOND HALF WE COME BACK READY TO  PLAY.

OUR #70 GOT LOTS OF PLAYING TIME SECOND HALF, AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT, THIS GRANDMA DID GET SOME PICTURES.

I LIKE THIS ONE!

HERE YOU CAN SEE 70 ON HIS SHOULDER AS HE HOLDS BACK HIS OPPONENT ON THE UPPER RIGHT SIDE.

SO  #6 CAN CATCH THE BALL

PLANNING THE ATTACK?

THE GAELS DID GET A TOUCHDOWN SECOND HALF,AND MADE THE EXTRA POINT,
JUST LOSING BY A LOUSY 3 POINTS.

WHERE THE DROUGHT

 HITS HOME!

A RECENT TRIP FOR A WALK AT LAKE CHABOT, BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF A FEW FISHING TRIPS WITH THE GRANDKIDS.  HERE'S THE PIER WHERE THREE LITTLE BOYS, GABE, SAM, AND GORDAN  ENJOYED CASTING THEIR LINES, AND REELING THEM IN. NOW IT'S CLOSED BECAUSE THE WATER IS SO LOW THAT IT IS DANGEROUS.  

GORDAN ACTUALLY CAUGHT A FISH HERE!
HE CRIED BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID OF IT,
AND PAPA GAVE IT AWAY.
 IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT, 
I DIDN'T EVEN GET A PICTURE.
THIS IS NOT A FISH STORY!!!

 ANOTHER PIER, AND A MAN WHO, OBVIOUSLY, DOESN'T FOLLOW RULES.

IF YOU WERE THINKING OF TAKING A LONG SHOWER,
DON'T DO IT!

A WEEKEND AWAY

WHAT FUN!

WE PICKED M UP TODAY AT THE AIRPORT AFTER HER WEEKEND TRIP.  SHE ARRIVED BACK ALL SMILES, AND WE WERE ALL SMILES TO SEE HER.
 

THE PERFECT DAY FOR A SWIM MEET

 IF YOU WERE ONE OF THE SWIMMERS,

US SPECTATORS WERE HOT, BUT WE SURVIVED.

ROXI WAS EASY TO FIND IN HER BRIGHT TURQUOISE SUIT

 NOTE HER CHEER SECTION BEHIND HER, PAPA IN THE HAT, SYD, OLIVIA, ABBEY, AND PATTI TO HIS RIGHT.

SHE HAD A GREAT DAY IMPROVING HER TIME IN EVERY EVENT.

HERE SHE IS IN A BRIGHT ORANGE SUIT.

AND ANOTHER GREAT EVENT!

LIV WAS ALSO EASY TO FIND IN HER LONG SPEED SUIT

AND SPEEDY SHE WAS, TAKING FIRST PLACE IN ONE OF HER EVENTS.

OFF THE BLOCK
WITH SYD AND ROXY CHEERING HER ON FROM BEHIND.
(ROXY IN THE ORANGE SUIT)

GREAT JOB GIRLS!

 AFTER THE MEET, TIM AND DANA HAD US OVER FOR A BBQ. THE KIDS COOLED THEMSELVES, AND US,  BY HITTING WATER BALLOONS WITH A TENNIS RACKET. 

GOOD FORM ROXY!

LOVE THAT FACE LIV!

LOOKS LIKE MAYBE YOU SHOULD JOIN THE TENNIS TEAM  GORDAN.

ELISE HAD TO STRETCH FOR THIS ONE SINCE SHE HAD A SHORT PITCHER.
HMM, WHO COULD THAT BE?

AND THEN THERE'S SLUGGER SYD!
WE WERE QUITE HAPPY WHEN SHE HIT THIS ONE AND GOT US ALL WET.

 GREAT WAY TO END A HOT DAY!
