A night away

Day 6 -

We woke up at Jack’s and he was a great host. He made us toast with vegemite, which we really liked, cereal and orange juice. We played a little Call of Duty until Drew and Georgia showed up randomly. They were nice.

Pat picked us up around 12 from Jack’s. We went back to Ross’ and showered up. Jack came over and we walked down the street to play a little bit of basketball at Freya and Erika's house, but they weren’t home. After a few games, we went back to Ross’ and tossed the football for a while. Drew showed up and we went back to the basketball hoops. We played a ton of horse and had a dunk competition or two. We got creative and attempted a shot rivaling some on the “Dude Perfect” videos. It was about 60 feet, on top of a mail box and over some tall trees. We each tried it at least 30 times, and the flip video ran out of batteries. Ross told me I would never make the shot, I replied with “Don’t tell me what I can’t do” (at which point he made a 30-rock reference “you’re not my Dad!”) and then everyone started slow clapping. I lined up the shot, spun the ball in my hands. Jumped off the mail box as high as I could, and released. The seams of the ball tumbled end over end toward the basket. As I landed on the soft grass, the ball was lost from sight. All clapping stopped. A clean *shwoosh* and screams came from behind the wall of trees. We all lost it. It was so perfect. SO PERFECT! And we didn’t get it on video.......

We dropped off Jack, returned to Ross’ and ate some super good chicken enchiladas. Yumm! After that we closed the night watching Tosh.O and going to bed early. Ross has school tomorrow. Sucker!!
