Maddy Lo

Got to back to the tah tah last week and spent some time with my new niece Madison who is quite honestly the most adorable thing on the planet. It was fun to see the fam again.

In grandma’s pool, Spencer and Michaela competed in a competition where they jumped off the diving board and had to catch a nerf type ball while in the air before going into the water. Clint and I were commentators for the events. The first round in Miami was won by Michaela and since she was the winner she got to represent USA at the Olympics in Beijing. We asked Spence since he lost, which country he wanted to represent, he said Japan. So it was Michaela Tate; USA, and Spencer Nagayama; Japan. Michaela was leading all 4 rounds at the Olympics, but the last round Spencer made an amazing catch and won by just one point. It was funny because when he caught the ball and landed in the water, his upward stretched arm came out of the water with the ball in hand followed by his body. The crowd went wild. The award ceremony followed with Spencer on the top pool step, and Michaela on the second.

Flying home stand-by was interesting. I could not get on the SLC-LGB flight, so I flew into San Diego. Once I was there, I took a Taxi to the Greyhound bus station and tried to purchase a ticket to Santa Ana. They ended up being sold out and the only way I could get north, was to downtown L.A. I and arrived downtown L.A. at midnight which is an interesting scene, but Brent got to the bus station the same time I did. Phew.
