Pre-Vacation Post

I’m behind again….but, didn’t feel like ponying up for internet in Coronado so waited until we got up here to Newport Beach.

Coming Soon:  Thursday travel post; Friday Hotel and Beach post, Saturday Kevin Paragliding Post and Sunday’s trip to La Jolla.

but first…a sports update.

Christopher:  Football practice continues….they held a scrimmage the last day before we left and Christopher was exclusively on the line.  He’s tentative…there is a lot to learn and he’s always been a kid who picks it up slowly, but once he gets it he gets it.  The biggest challenge for him right now is staying low in his stance and firing off the ball.  We are working on his three-point stance while on vacation trying to get him used to the right position.

2010-08-CpherFootball01 getting ready for a tackling drill….he’s 64 near the front…

Kevin:  Had his first JV-tennis match on Wednesday before we left….he’s playing #2 doubles with Andrew, who he played with in the earlier scrimmage.  They won there match against St. Johns 6-4, 6-2 and the team won 5-3 (all of the singles and Kevin’s doubles won…the rest of the doubles teams lost).  A good start for Kevin…still a little concerned that this vacation is going to hurt him but we’ll see. Kevin has beat the kid playing #2 singles for the JV team the last two times out in practice so I can’t think he’s going to slide too far while he’s gone.
