Famille Du Pentium

That’s right, it was time once again to make our annual pilgrimage to Rosemont, Illinois to take in our yearly allotment of complex hydrocarbons, and watch Grave Digger, Taz, Escalade, and others race, jump, and try to wreck their trucks.

This year, Grave Digger won the race competition, and Escalade (with a driver from Chicago) won the freestyle, by rolling his truck (the crowd always likes that.)

I tried some new settings on my camera phone to see if I could get better action shots. I don’t think it worked well, but check them out anyway: http://gallery.famille.org/main.php?g2_itemId=2976.

Back with more YouTube videos, these are a few of the kids in their swim class.  Aaron and Ethan are swimming by themselves, and Justin is getting used to moving around in the water.

First, Aaron does the backstroke this week:

Next, Justin is bouncing with a noodle:

Finally, Ethan is swimming alone:

Thursday night was Family Fitness Night at Ethan’s school. They had a walking track, plus instructors for yoga, dance, and cup stacking. Yes, cup stacking is apparently a sport.

Whether you agree or not (Aaron doesn’t), Ethan and Justin tried it out.
