Oh, she's been busy, all right...
She has been spending her days and nights (and occasionally her ridiculously early mornings) playing Water Polo! "Playing What?" you may ask? Water Polo is quite possibly my favorite high school sport ever. It's exactly like Basketball, only it's in water... and the goal looks more like a soccer goal than a round basket... and the ball is like a rough fuzzy volleyball... but other than those minor technicalities, it's basketball while treading water!
It's fast paced, the fouls fly fast and furious, at one game our Super Polo Player even got ejected! (yes, we were very proud!)
Of course, one of Cindy's favorite parts of it is the protective headgear... You can see in the picture above, there are black guards over the ears, and the net result that you can't really see in these pictures is that the girls all look like they have Princess Leia buns on!
Ellysa insists that they aren't actually "Leia Buns", but that's our official name for them. Everyone should come to a game, it really is the most fun high school sport to watch!
Oh, and when she's not in the pool, she's still perfecting the art of the flute. In fact, right before the game that these pictures came from, she had a concert... then ran up to the pool for a quick change for the game!
The only thing left to do is figure out if there's a setting on the camera that's actually compatible with the lighting at the school...
I am impressed. Water Polo looks very fun, but it also looks very hard. Lisa was lucky, because her HS had water polo..of course no high schools in the TC had it. Good for her.
