Pretty dramatic title for a blog, huh? I had a great day off yesterday full of fun highlights. Summer and I had an interesting contest on the way home from swim practice. We tried to see who could make the scariest monster sound. I think all those hours of watching Scooby Doo really paid off for Summer because my seven year-old daughter can make scarier noises than I can. Of course, being competitive as I am, I challenged her to a fog horn competition. Let's just say that if a grown man can't beat a high-pitched seven year-old girl's voice at a fog horn competition he has issues! I am the reigning champion of the fog horn. I can do a pretty mean tug boat!
One of the highlights of the day for me was Summer telling me a Michael Jordan story. It was a "moment." I asked her how she felt about swim practice and I told her the key is to get a little better each time. She said, "Dad, did you know that Michael Jordan got cut from his basketball team but he kept practicing and practicing." Did I know? I almost cried :) My life is now complete. My seven year-old daughter told me a MJ story of her own free will.
Later in the morning I had a little wrestling match with Parker. I invented a new move I call "I'm going to take out your appendix" move! Very effective! By the way, I go by multiple wrestling names: The Tickler, The Rock of Gibraltor, and The Human Scissors just to name a few.
The highlight of the day was shooting our own family movie that we titled Summer of Adventure: The War of the Water Balloons. We scripted it and shot in one evening. Fun stuff. I did all my own stunts and starred as "The Evil Emperor 7" who outlawed laughter. And Josiah, Summer, and Parker started as the three brave children named Mosiah, Larker, and Lummer who staged a water balloon ambush. What a blast. We watched the raw footage last night and if we ever get it edited I'll post a link! I can see the reviews already: "The War of the Water Balloons. High Drama! Amazing cinematography! Tear-jerker."
