Las Colinas & the Dallas Brewers

Our end-of-July vacation at the Four Seasons Las Colinas was a fun visit with the Dallas Brewers. Jerry and Jason played the tournament players course and we had lots of pool time!

Melissa and I took advantage of the pool, while the guys played golf and - even in 100 degree heat, the boys had fun going from the hot tub to the pool. Here's Luke ...



And Zach loved sitting on the big rock letting the hot water run down his back.



Here's a beautiful view of the hotel and golf course. Saturday morning, Jerry and I walked the entire course (have to finish by 7am) as our morning exercise.



Saturday afternoon, we had worn out the pool, watched a lot of Olympic events and the boys wanted to practice their pitching. Jerry showed Luke how to use the seams on the baseball to control different types of pitches.

Luke, zinging one in there!



I'm not sure what kind of a stance this is, but it's probably not seen in the major leagues. Good leg work, Jason!



Although he's got less experience - and control - than Luke, Zach throws a fierce fast ball. Facial expressions are a critical element in the fast ball pitch!



The boys spent the night with us Saturday and we had room service while watching the Olympics. Here's a cute picture of Zach wearing a teeny-tiny hat that was in our room for some reason.



Since the Olympics kicked off on Friday night, the boys were having their own "Brazilian Olympics" (not sure why they weren't called Brewer Olympics) and there were lots of games and competitions through the weekend. One game was seeing how many back flips they could do without taking a breath. Zach nailed it with four flips!
