Junior Nationals

Kennidy's Club West volleyball team joined 29 other qualified teams in their age group in Columbus, Ohio, for the Junior National Volleyball Championships (formerly called the Junior Olympics). Her team entered the national competition in 4th place. Matches started July 2nd. By the end of competition on July 5th, their team ended up tied for 7th place nationwide. They made an amazing journey and enjoyed the opportunity to have qualified and compete on a national level.

I will update with more pictures once available.  :)

Not a good swimmer

Look what Sidney and Remberto found in the gutter box of our pool! They pulled her out of the water and wrapped her up in a towel. She stayed wrapped up for about 3 hours and then hopped out, shook her feathers loose and flew off.

Flightdeck

For his birthday this year, I got Remberto 2 passes to experience Flightdeck in Anaheim, CA.

Remberto and Johnny got to experience flying F-16 fighter jets and Christine and I got to watch them dog fight against 7 others. They have real cockpits that each pilot gets to get into and huge screens to project their simulated experience.

Happy Birthday to Us!

For our birthday weekend we went to Morton's for dinner then to Montana's for some dancing!  It worked out well because we were able to celebrate both our actual birthdays with friends at Montana's. We got there when it was still officially my birthday and we left after it had turned to Remberto's birthday!

Getting Wet

To beat the heat this weekend, I took Sidney to play in the water fountains at a local outdoor shopping center.

They Did It

Club West 15 Nationals took 1st place in Minnesota this weekend! Here is Kennidy and a teammate during the celebration
