WST vs. Rudgear Estates

The kids swam today against Rudgear Estates.  Hanna got first in all of her events even though she added time.  Kira did 100 IM.  The meet went fast.  The music was just right.  

 

WST @ LMYA

This morning was Woodlands against LMYA.  Scott is the head coach for LMYA.  It was a well-run meet that ran ahead of schedule thanks to the pool having 10 lanes.

Emily gives her farewell address

 We went to Rocklin to hear Tyler's girlfriend give her missionary farewell address.  She's headed to Oklahoma.

Kira's choir and swim

Kira spent most of her friend time with her choir friends.  She has really been enjoying her point and shoot Canon G11 camera.  It's funny that with the advancements in iphone cameras, kids want to travel back in time to use older technology.  I like it though.  Some of these were shot with the 5d mkiv, can you tell which?

Las Vegas

We went to Las Vegas for spring break, Tuesday-Sunday.  First we stayed at the Circus Circus.  That place is a dump but $50/night is pretty sweet.  Nice to have Kira as a secondary photographer.

I read The Hail Mary Project and The Martian, by Andy Weir.  They were both good but I really liked the former.  Ryan Gosling is the star of the movie and the book details a lot of problem solving with math and I just can't see Gosling doing that since he was Ken in the Barbie movie.  Britton said the movie was good, though.  

For two nights we stayed at the Grandview Resort.  For $100/night it was pretty sweet since it had a separate bedroom and kitchenette, complete with oven, range and microwave.  

The view from the Westgate.  We went to a timeshare presentation to get free breakfast and discounted Cirque du Soleil tickets.  Those guys are aggressive salesmen and don't take rejection easily.  

The presentation had the energy of the NYSE floor.  Thank goodness for the earplugs.  Bacon was good though, yogurt was rotten.
