Troy & Jason have almost finished their season of water polo. We have spent countless hours at pools over the last 2 months. Next week they play their last game. YAY! I'll welcome the rest! NO MORE SNACK BAR!!
Water polo is such a crazy sport. The players are really physical, hitting, kicking, and grabbing under water. (That really is how the sport is played) All while treading water for 45 minutes straight. If you can see at the top of the picture below, the players waiting to be put in just tread like it's nothing. I'd be holding on to the wall for sure!! 
Jason unfortunately didn't get to play very many games since he hurt his ankle, but he didn't lose his technique. He's not the best at scoring, but he is great at defense and steals the ball tons. He also gets several assists each game. He is player 2 above. He is wrestling with the opponent under water.
Jason's the player right in the middle on the right side of the ball. Troy's on the right side of the picture.
That arm coming out of the water is one of my boys. They're having a little wrestling match there!
This picture is my favorite. Of course, I didn't take it! Troy is blocking a shot here. They had tournaments last week. At this game one of the opponents grabbed Troy's speedo while they were wrestling. When Troy got out of the pool, he was telling his coach "that guy just pulled my speedo"! Then he was reaching back to feel it because something felt weird. He realized there was no back to the speedo anymore and he was giving everyone a show. His new nickname is "Hairy Half Moon". Too bad the dad with the camera didn't get that picture!
