Water Polo Has Begun

It's that time of year again...water polo season. Jason's #2 red, right in the center. They get really physical. I get tired watching them.
Jason's in the center here, getting the ball from his opponent. (above) Do you see his opponent? That's that thing under Jason's face. Zoom in and you can see there's somebody there.

Eric is playing this year, too. He's the red cap on top of the little boy drowning. Anything to get the ball, but that's the better end to be on!! He plays novice and JV.

Here's Eric again. He's doing pretty well playing, but doesn't enjoy it as much as swim. He also is totally wiped out at the end of the day...not always such a bad thing. Last night he came home at 7:30 (after leaving before 6am) and still hadn't had dinner or done his homework. Hopefully he will be able to keep up this schedule and hang tough.

There are 33 scrimmages, games and tournaments until season end on Nov 5. The fun thing is we have kids in novice, jv and varsity now, so we get to go to ALL the games! And nobody volunteered to do the snack bar, so guess who's doing it?!! Although from the looks of our game last night, I will have tons of parental support.

Tonight started a varsity tournament. They played Torrey Pines. They got creamed! Those Torrey kids sure can swim hard, and drown others really well, too. Jason got evicted the 2nd quarter. Of course they were bad calls:) Now we're off to our 2nd game. Hopefully they'll do better this next game.
