A wonderful shot Joe, he seems so focused. The whole series of shots on The Visual Chronicle are really cool, as is the video clip. Must be so much fun to watch the tournament. My son would love it so much. 🙂

Thank you very much Elina 🙂 Your son really would have loved it Elina it was just like one big party with food, drinks and barbecue. I should have stayed longer but it was very hot and muggy that day and the heat was getting to me. They have another competition where they jump off the truck and have to hook a fire hose up to a hydrant while the rest of the team travels down the course then jumps off the truck and has to hit a target when they turn the water on. You might be able to find it on YouTube under Firemans Tournament Hose Competition 😀

Joe, I’m going through withdrawal this morning! It was an unbelievable four days, and I seriously could see living the city. My husband’s been saying for years that he’d love to live there. So who knows?? 🙂
