Football 9/4

Travis' football team lost again 14-7. Travis had 9 tackles, 1 reception and recovered a fumble and ran it back 45 yards for the touch down and also ran in the extra point. He is having a pretty good season just hope the team can win a few games.

Football 8/28

Football season is underway. Travis' team lost their first game 13-0. Travis had 14 tackles. He played every down of the game including special teams. He is also the place kicker.

Museum of the Lost City

We also visited the Museum of the Lost City. This museum has a rebuilt Anazi Indian Village on the actual foundations from an ancient village. It is unknown why the Anazi Indians disappeared.

Hoover Dam

We went to Hoover Dam on July 11, 2010 on the way home from Vegas. We went through the museum to see how the dam was built and learn about the people who built it. We also saw the Tillman Memorial Dam Bypass. Starting in October cars will not be able to drive over the Hoover dam any more. I think the high bridge would be scarier than the narrow road over the Dam.

Secret gardens at the Mirage

We went to the Mirage to the secret garden where they have the dolphin research center and the large cat exhibits. We got to see the trainers working with the dolphins and saw the rare white tigers and white lions as well as regular lions, tigers, and jaguars.

Swimming in Vegas

Travis, Ted, Lauren, Maddie, and Meryn loved the swimming pool at the time shares. They spent many hours playing in the water.

Long time no post

It has been awhile since I posted. The boys both went to a sports camp. Ted went to USC water polo camp and Travis went to O-D football camp where he won an award and was named to the Youth All American team.

Ted went to Idaho by himself and stayed with his cousins and grandma and grandpa.

We then went to a family reunion in Vegas.

Boys had 4 weeks of swim lessons they are both in pre-competitive (level 6) swimming.

Ted went to Junior Olympics for water polo. His team took 5th.

Travis has started football. They had their first scrimmage last night and it was not pretty. It looks like he will be the star on a losing team again. He has been turned into a running back which he is not sure he likes. He has been moved from linebacker to free safety and complained his teams would stand around in his way and he could not make the tackle. Truthfully the defense made very few tackles and the offense made very few blocks. The life of 7 and 8 yr old football.

I will try to get some phots posted in the next few days. I just downloaded the camera and need to back up the computer.
