Ward party!

We had so much fun at the ward party last night! We went to the Buckeye Pool, they have a slide and high dives and a beach entry pool...Brynn jumped in right when we got there and we had to drag her out when it was time to leave!
Coby joined in the festivities...she LOVED the pool
- and had fun floating, too!
Howie did a fantastic back flip off the high dive - and got a little too much confidence and did a front flip - landed spank on his back - OUCH...so then he turned it down a notch - just jumps and dives - no more flipping, it just isn't worth it to him!
Rossi raced a couple kids from his HS swim team - he did great - lost in the IM, but won in the freestyle! It was funny watching the HS boys all take their board shorts off to reveal their black speedo racers underneath! I remember when Speedo's used to be dorky! Apparently, it's the "in" thing now, especially with olympics so close in the rear-view mirror!

There was also a pie-eating contest! Rossi put both his name and his dad's name in for the drawing and they were both picked. Here we see Rossi chowing down next to a member of our stake presidency, who really wanted to use a fork.
And then our friend, Bedie (center next to Ross) was also drawn to be in the competition - interestingly, she didn't put her name into the fish-bowl to be drawn, but somehow it magically ended up in there. She was such a great sport, though! Better her than me!

Also, in case anyone here is interested in seeing the syncro routines my girls did over the summer (the very NIGHT crypto creaped up on us!!) Here's Kiersten & Alexis...

And here's Kali & Brook
