The White Platform

Zach has been working his way up to a back flip off the top platform at the pool this summer. He finally got the courage to try last week and ever since he has wanted me to come video him so that I can put it on my blog. So today I went over with him to film it. He LOVES the attention he gets everytime he does it. When I flipped the video because it was sideways it cut of the top a little bit but that is Zach. Zach would appreciate any comments about how amazingly cool his is! If you listen to the talking at the beginning you can hear a girl say "look at the kid on the white...." this is what he lives for.

Pretty amazing Zach. We are just excited around here when kids can dive and not jump off our diving board (which by the way is only a few inches above the ground).

So, Kath told me about this and I had to come see for myself! I am AMAZED, Zach! I showed the video to Mike and he was speachless. He kept saying, "do you have any idea how HIGH that is? 10 Meters! Over 30 feet!!" Needless to say, we are extremely impressed. Go Zach! And btw, Stacy, I saw some of your tvg pics on fb and loved the reinactment of the pyramid. Esp. with Rob! Looks like you had fun.

Zach - where is your helmet!? I must say, you make that look easy... I might try it the next time we are in Utah and go to the pool with you!
Is it hard to be so cool?
