Jumping...




What is it about jumping into something that is so exciting when your a kid? As you can tell from the number of pictures here, Jadon wouldn't stop jumping off the boat. He actually got a little mad when we told him it was time to stop and we were gonna move on. Don't get me wrong, I jumped in, but not 20 times in a row!

Be a kid again today and jump into something unexpected....


What's your best/worst jumping story?

I remember as a kid we went to visit Mazatlan, Mexico for spring break. I don't think my parents expected it to be such a college scene, but as a 10 yr old boy it was pretty cool! We went to a different pool that was seperate from the college kids, but it had a bunch of rocks in it that you could climb up and jump off of. One time, after a few of the smaller jumps, I built up the courage to go to the highest rock, it was a pretty good jump, and there were a few rocks below it that you had to clear. I pushed off a little too hard and slipped, falling through the air, I thought for sure I was gonna hit the rocks. Luckily, near miss and I swam away without a scratch.


Lesson learned : don't push too hard for the things you want or they might slip away...


What to do when there's no hockey...

Hockey season is done. We lost in the first round of the playoffs. But we finished in 2nd place for the regular season, which was an accomplishment considering we finished 2nd to last the season before. We don't start up again until after Labor Day weekend so what to do now?


Well there's Cardinals pre-season. Overall I thought they looked pretty good. We lost to the Chargers but the Cards starting D is still yet to give up any points. Offense has a few kinks but that will iron out with a few more practices... Hoping Wells gets to play this Friday against the Packers.





Boating, is another great option. So Sunday, which was also Jason's b-day was another great day on the lake. 3rd day on the lake in 2 weeks, I almost feel like I'm back in high school again.



Happy B-day to Jason... Jadon gave him a great present and wanted to swim in the water, I think he wanted to impress Camden with his jumping ability. Which impressed us all, more on that to come soon...
