Colorado

Mike and I checked Stockton out of school around lunch time and headed to Colorado.  Stockton has a diving tournament this weekend. He is only able to compete on the 3 meter because the 1 meter event in his age category is on Sunday.  We opted out of that.  Mike drove the motorhome so Stockton was able to sleep the entire way.  The best thing about the motorhome is Stockton is able to catch up on sleep.  He does not sleep long at home.

We made it to the pool around 4:30, right when warm ups started. These guys dove until about 7:30.  Stockton went to Colorado without ever having competed his twist dive.  The one he smacked on a few days ago.  Well, he pulled it off!  This is the first time he successfully landed his front 1 1/2 full twist.  Ignore his happy mom cheering, but his coach is hilarious.  While holding a baby she jumped up and did a little dance.  The video is hard to see, but you can make out what is happening.

We went as a team to Chili's after practice.  The kids were beat.  The dive club had made a reservation there a few days before for 8:00.  I don't think we were seated until around 9.  Laurel was furious.  She did get free appetizers for our entire table.  I watched the BYU game from my phone.  Just watched what was happening with a little animated basketball court.  It would have dots where the basket was shot from and sometimes I would catch an animated dot arching toward the basket.  Not sure how to best explain that, but it was better than nothing!  I'm glad BYU pulled out the win!

My dad came over and picked up Preston for a sleepover.  He spoiled him rotten with pizza, milkshakes, and movies.  I little kid heaven. Maysen and Jorja stayed at home by themselves.  They were both happy with that arrangement.
