Blog worthy weekend.

Some interesting things happened this weekend. Ed and Camilla invited us to go watch Batman with them and because they were taking Lucas, we decided to take Isaac too. Not a good idea, Isaac is not ready for movie theaters, or anything less than a G movie. So I ended up outside with him most of the movie. Which was fine because Thursday was Pioneer Day in Utah and we got to watch a bit of fireworks from the roof of my car in the parking lot and Isaac got his inaugural dive in a fountain.

That is what you just read. Outside the theater there's a cute fountain with some big boulders inside and a little waterfall. Around the fountain there's a small wall that leads to a bit higher one where there is a planter box.Isaac found little rocks to throw inside the fountain. After numerous attempts of telling him to come back to me and to be careful, Isaac lost his balance throwing one of the stones and went in head first, barely missing the big boulder 18 inches from the wall he fell from. He was completely soaked and his legs were shaking a lot. He was so surprised by it all, poor guy. I took his clothes off and while doing so, couldn't believe I started laughing, and he started laughing while yelling to himself "cuidado, cuidado" I thought it was hilarious. I mean, he was fine it was just a scare and a quick splash into some semi-cold water. I took him to the car and left his clothes by the fountain for a while, realizing that his diaper bag was inside the theater with Mike. But his diaper wasn't really wet because somehow I managed to jump like a cat and get him out of the water. So we just stayed in the car and thanks to the heat of the summer and dryness of Utah, he was dry in less than 5 minutes.

The other cool thing that happened this weekend is that I placed in the my first open tournament ever. It was fun being able to get a prize, it hasn't happened since I was in college playing A on the grass. Not that we don't deserve the credit for beating teams that have constantly beat us, but it was super windy, over 100 degrees, and my tummy felt like the extra 10 pounds I've put on. Needless to say as much as I really wanted to get to the final, I was so running on empty that Tracy and Angela who beat us to go to the finals were kind enough to keep serving my partner so I wouldn't pass out before the game got to 21. Both of them having kids themselves and Tracy being just 6 weeks post partum can appreciate what it feels like playing with a 5-month blob attached to you. I'll gladly settle for 3rd place, thank you.
