China Ball

Here's a picture of some of the corporate basketball. They took about 200 pictures of this particular game. If anyone's interested, we have 199 others.

To China and Back

These are pictures of Kent's recent business trip to China. He and his partner, Greg, spent about 8 days touring factories in Guongzhou and Shanghai (top left picture is at the factory where they made our wrought iron doors). They were able to find time to play a little bit of b-ball with 2 factory owners and some of their best players. The Chinese people they met were very interested in discussing the NBA and anxious to get some game time.

"Getting stronger"

The Bowler Family and their friends did their own personal 5K. It was their first annual 5K their main sponsor was Bowlers Inc. They did a custom course made by Amy Bowler and Dan Bowler (both runners of the 5K). They have been training every morning at 6:00 (some of the time) for two months. They are definitely "getting stronger".

The Fastest Player

Ben completed his first TBall season this week. He loved every minute of it. He was awarded the gold-plated trophy for the fastest player and he truly was. He would race from the outfield to the lineup so that he could be first and then race to first base so that he could play that position - the only place where you get to actually touch the ball. He is already asking when he gets to play "real baseball".
