GETC

The annual Guy Enriques Team Camp at Kelso High School is about volleyball, but they also have other activities such as the team talent show. The RA Long volleyball team performed to a Pit Bull song and wore bald wigs. They ended up taking 2nd place out of 12 performers! In this pic, Jillian is standing up third from the left, and Bridget is standing up far right.

They also called players up by position to dance. Jillian joined the setters:

... and Bridget joined the outside hitters:

Here's a couple more bonus pics from the main performance:

Living the Best Life!

Looks pretty good to me-Anna (the cat) and Cookie keeping Tor company while he watches cartoons while eating out of a half-gallon ice cream container. Then later he has me (Grannie) defend him while he shoots baskets and dunks on the kitchen basketball hoop. (Actually-good exercise. But I'm getting too easy.)

 

Waterskiing

Tor got up on waterskiis (briefly) for the first time today. Uncle Kevin and Aunt Julie were on their boat on Mayfield Lake, and invited us along. Tor got a quick lesson from Uncle Kevin, then jumped into the cool water. The first attempt was close, but Tor got up on the second attempt for a couple seconds (see pic) before having a spectacular crash.

That was the end of waterskiing. Tor was more inclined to do some diving catches into the water off Uncle Kevin's throws.

Baby Grant

Little cousin Grant Robert (or G-Bob) was born on July 24, and Cale and Erika brought him home today. Jillian, Tor and Dad went up to CR to see and hold him (Bridget and Mom were at a horse show).

G-Bob is a very chill baby - he slept the entire time we were there.

Papa Bob's New Ride

Jillian got to take Tor out for a spin in Papa Bob's new Honda ATV. It's a nice smooth ride, and goes pretty fast. Should be fun!

Mint Valley Golf Course

We finished our tour of local golf courses at our "home" course of Mint Valley. This time we played 18 holes and rented power carts (since we had some old gift cards to use up). Cousin Cale joined us once again.

Tor drove the new, updated power carts most of the time:

Skyline Golf Course

Or, as we call it, the "Mountain Goat Course", due to the crazy steep hills. Skyline was our 4th course on the tour, and certainly had some of the most difficult holes. Tor did manage to pull out a par on a Par 3, and a bogey on a Par 4.

Tor's school friend and basketball teammate Keegan joined us, along with cousins Cale.

We had gone to the $1 movie (Kung Fu Panda 4) with Keegan beforehand, along with playing some Nintendo Switch 2 and grabbing a McDonalds Happy Meal on the way.
