OHIO

Brent had to brag about his trip to Sac.... so I am going to do the same with OHIO!!! Got to go spend a few days with the Beazers and what a time it was!! C had his Big #2 Birthday and look at how grown-up he looks!
No, he is not behind bars.... he is playing on the front porch!! And here he is with his beautiful big sister.


He and L went on their first bike outings for the summer (actually it is big wheel and tricycle - but that is too much to type so we will just say BIKE)




They were so proud of their new helmets and knee and shoulder pads....

We went to the Asian Festival on Sat... and ate well and were well entertained. One of the new culture events I was introduced to was a ball game that is (to me anyway) a combination of Volleyball, hacky sack, and soccer. There were 3 men on each team - a ball that looked like wicker(loosely woven and with holes), but was hard plastic - No touching with hands, so it was kicked and head butted, and played with a net (about head high on the men) . I will give you a brief video of part of the game.... it was amazing!!




It was a little scary too when one would kick it the same time another was trying to hit it with his head!!! This gives you a little feel of it... I think Brooke has a better video... so maybe she will put it on her blog and you can see more there. But here is a picture....


If you look closely you can see how high they jump to kick and in what position they do it... most un-natural.... it was amazing.
