My brother (Pat) and his family (Dana, Brenna, Sean, and Devin) were in Denver for the weekend. Sean plays on a competitive soccer team, and the boys had a Labor Day tournament in Denver. If you recall, the boys came up over Memorial Day weekend and won their division. This weekend did not result in the previous resounding success, likely due to the fact Sean's team was used to 8-vs-8 games. This weekend was all 11-vs-11, so the boys were at a disadvantaged. Still, they played hard, and will use the games as a learning experience.
After the game, we went to Pat and Dana's hotel and let the kids do a little swimming. This was probably the highlight of the weekend for Bode. Our regular gym has a swimming pool and a hot-tub that is off-limits to kids who are not six years old. The hotel had a hot-tub, and Bode went straight for it.
At some point, we convinced Brenna to give Bode a piggy-back ride. Bode had never gotten up on someone's shoulders, so it took him awhile to figure things out. Once he did, he did not want to come down.
The kids were very cute playing in the water. I managed to get this movie.
The kids also did some jumping in from the side. Note how Brenna just shoves Devin into the water :-)
The grand finale was jumping in together holding hands.
And one last picture.
We are in for the evening. It's before five, but we are pretty tired. We'll relax the rest of the night, watch some TV, maybe read some Captain Underpants, and then bed. I'm running a 1/2 marathon tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. Happy Labor Day.
