Santa Clara Women's Water Polo WWPA Tournament

Last weekend Gracie (see blog below...) and I went to Santa Clara for Laura's water polo tournament.  We also went to the Golden Gate Bridge (at night) in the limited free time she had.

Here are two of Laura's water polo team mates.  Don't they look like nice, sweet girls?

Sure....but get them into the water and they morph.  If you're a guy, and you have great memories of the "glory days" of high school football, don't even consider getting into the water with these girls. 

Really.  Don't even consider it.

But if you do, don't say I didn't warn you.  Laura is #13.  Most of the video has Santa Clara on offense. 

Enjoy!

Where in the world is Gracie? Contest!

Announcing the first ever "Where in the world is Gracie?  Contest!"  Gracie and I went last weekend to Santa Clara University for Laura's D1 Conference Championship Tournament.  Take a guess where she is.  The winner of this contest gets to sing a solo at Zion Lutheran; your choice of service and selection!  Answers to where the pics are from are listed below the pictures.  Check back for pics and video of Laura's games.

And the answers are:
1.  At Santa Clara University (a gimme...).  Gracie is right above the "R".
2.  You've heard of a "dash-cam."  Here's Gracie attempting to be a "dash-dog."  When I was a kid people used to have brown dogs with wagging heads at the back of their cars.  Here, stopped in California traffic, I asked Gracie to wag her head.  She declined...
3.  The "high point" of our trip at the Hebron Summit at 5,202 feet in Northern California.
4.  Unknown pet area...
5.  Getting loved on by the Santa Clara water polo girls.
6.  Golden Gate Bridge at twilight.  Laura and I took Gracie there after Saturday's game and team picnic.
7.  Mount Shasta Vista View.

Let me know how many you guessed correctly, and we'll plan you in for singing that solo!
