COLTON LEARNS TO FLY!
"Why can't I?" asks Becca.


After straightening the basketball hoop, which suffered a blow by the snow plows this winter and was skewed off-center by about 10 degrees, Colton sets the hoop to regulation height and practices his dunk.  He reached the rim earlier in the week, and here is showing Bizzy (who took the shots and video) and Becca, sitting atop Titanic, still on the trailer at the garage, how he does it.

First, Colton takes a run at the hoop, dribbling as he is supposed to.


He takes his allotted three steps. . .




Stretches the ball up with both hands . . .

And, SWOOOSH!!! Nuthin' but net and hands!

As you can see, Colton is pretty far off the ground. His next learning objective? The Alley OOP!

BECCA ENJOYS DIP IN LAKE!

Every chance Becca gets, she jumps in the lake. What can we say, she's a fish!  I guess that's why she keeps telling us that she wants to be on the swim team and not the basketball team. Although, she has enjoyed playing basketball with her cousin Colton, just as much as she has enjoyed frolicking in the lake with her Uncle Claude E.

Here, Becca gives a thumbs up after swimming under the pier. We keep telling her not to do that, but she says she can hold her breath long enough.

A NICE SWIM!

Becca and Uncle Claude enjoy a cool dip in Bass Lake between the piers.  Becca loves nothing more than swimming in Bass Lake, except maybe swimming with a buddy!  We have certainly enjoyed Uncle Claude and Aunt Kasey's visit during the middle part of June, sometimes hot, sometimes cool.  Uncle Claude helped get boats and jet skis running and tubing and lake activities has been a part of the everyday functions.

OFF TO THE MINT FESTIVAL!

We all enjoy going to the Mint Festival, held every June on Father's Day Weekend, in North Judson.  Becca loves going and enjoys all the activities, especially the pony rides. Every year, afterwards, Dad has to contend with the one question, "When can we get a horse?"

While at the Mint Festival Becca enjoys getting her face painted. She chooses a different design each year, but it always looks similar to a cat face. Afterwards, Becca found Colton and posed for a picture with her 'brother'.
