Week 31-Handstanding at the "Bird Bath"

I had the pleasure of coaching the expert today while Coach Bird takes a rest bit in Mexico. Lucky me! Honestly, the coaching went sort of like this,"That looked great!" or "Can you tell me what was wrong with that dive?" "Short." "Long." Mostly, Sean and Gracia were teaching me. It's amazing how much the coach needs to see in that split second it takes to do the dive!

Here in the photo with me is Gracia. Gracia is one of the top divers in the country. She held this handstand for several minutes while I took handstand poses around her. Look at the toe point on her! I have still got a ways to go to be just a fraction of the handstand artist Gracia is.

Week 30-February 16th,The Blizzard!

You never really know.... Last week the airport closed, schools closed, business shut down early.... all for naught! The snow storm was a dud! The threat never appeared, but on Tuesday of this week mother nature made up for it. I was worried because I really wanted to get a snowy shot for this blog before we see an end to the snow! Finally, all circumstances were right and I was able to pull it off! Once again my son came through. He was already out in the blizzard preparing a camping spot for he and his buddies to have a campfire dinner the next night during their February vacation break! It was easy to get him to take a quick shot before heading back home.
