The Ball Challenge - 01/29/10

We had more friends over for our Ball Challenge and ALL were first-timers.

First of all, we had a delicious pork loin dinner with rice, and salad, and these beautiful vegetables. I meant to take a picture of the complete plate, but I scarfed it down before I thought about it. Yum.

Curtis Mellor was quite determined and challenged us in several different positions. Stella was the photographer, so the paparazzi flash didn't help with anyone's concentration.

I can see Shellee practicing this one at home so she can be ready for the next challenge.

I'm actually really impressed with Stella's balance. She can stay on the ball for several seconds, which is more than most adults can do!

Eric Murray probably could have done better, but he was just laughing all night.

Lauren Murray thought she was on a pommel horse.

Steve Umpleby didn't want pictures, but he's not the boss of me.

Carma Umpleby is our new best friend. Not because of her ball challenge skills, but because she let Stella fix her hair and put puzzles together with her for part of the night.

Elliot testing out his new skills. He was concentrating really hard!

I'm good. I'm really good. But boring.

If you take too long on the ball, you get a little extra challenge as Stella kicks the crap out of the ball until you lose focus and fall.

Lauren whipped out her gymnastic skills.

Stella joined in.

So did Elliot.
