Diving Fun

Stockton had so much fun at diving today. I wish I could figure out how to get videos to show up better on blogger, but oh well. They played water polo at the start of class. Three against three. The score was one to one and Tyce said the next point would win. Stockton had the ball and was swimming super slow. He was half way across the pool when his arm came out like a dart and he fired the ball at the cone. (They weren't playing with nets, the goal was to hit an orange cone.) Anyway, Stockton nailed it. It was awesome.

The last part of class they played around on the three meter. Tyce would ask someone to pick a dive. Then everyone would have to do it. Whoever did it best would get to pick the next dive. They started getting really silly. Stockton loved it.
When Stockton got to pick he said inward flip, full twist. Everyone groaned. They had never done anything like that before. Stockton had to be able to complete the dive before the other divers were required to try. He did it. You can see some of the other divers grab their heads after he entered the water. They did not want to do it. Actually Mickey really did not want to do it, which is funny because he destroyed everyone at the meet last weekend. He ended up just doing an inward one and a half. Tyce had everyone boo him when he got out of the water. It was so funny. I put some videos of the other divers trying to complete this dive.
Stockton's inward full twist
Matt
Christopher. He is SO GOOD, so this made me laugh!
Lizzie- yep, she can do about anything
Back to random dives with Stockton
Not sure what this is
Lizzie and Matt - looks like a bad idea
Lizzie and Matt again, they never learn
Valentine's day is tomorrow. I ran to the store to grab fun dip valentines for Preston. Mike helped him make his 'box'. It turned out super cute, I'll put a picture of that on my blog tomorrow.
