Racquetball, Tigers Blood, and a little too much sunshine

We started the day up at USU playing racquetball! My dad took us up, taught the kids the basics and we played for 1 ½ hours. We played cut-throat on 2 different courts and had such a great time. It was an adjustment for us tennis players, but it sure is cool to hit balls off of several walls.

My new nickname is “The -poster -child -for -why -you -should -always -wear -sunscreen -even -though -its -super -cloudy -outside -and -you -are -slightly -chilly -and -are -in -the -water -most -of -the -time”. This afternoon, we went with the family to the Logan aquatic center AKA pool! We spent almost 4 hours there. The kids went off the diving boards, and down the crazy slides. We did laps in the pool and tread water. We had fun snow cones and my favorite flavor was “Tigers Blood”. I know that sounds really weird but it was really quite tasty! Not sure how to describe it. Anyway, we all ended up a little red, but apparently the sun was mad at me for some reason and went all postal on me. Im more purple than red. Id like to think this will turn into an amazing tan (even though my legs are still white) , but Im not sure that will happen…I bet I will look like a giant beet for our family pictures.

This evening we went back to the theater to watch more wipeout. Once again, It is pretty awesome watching it on the big screen. The younger kids got flashlights and played “hide and seek” in the theater. Then we had yummy strawberry shortcake for dessert and played “Imaginiff” again for game night.

On a funny note: Tyler has had mosquito bites out of control. I swear he emits some sort of sweet brownie fudge sundae smell or something? To make it worse, he is a little allergic and so each bite seems to swell up to the size of a baseball. Anyway, we found out today that he has named them all: Big Buddy, the Trouble Twins, USA and Australia (because they are located on opposite sides of his legs) and little John (cant remember the rest). What a goofball!
