SOLAR ECLIPSE

The clouds broke just in time for the kids to see their first solar eclipse. They used old x-rays.

BACK to BACK to BACK

Today, the kids watched the "Back to the Future" series. Nicolas asked, "Can I get a 'hoverboard' when I grow up?"

"TANK YOU!"

And after 1 year, 2 months and 18 days, Savion shouted, "Finally!" after completing the Final Mission of the Wii Tank game in tandem with his father.

THE THRILL of VICTORY and THE AGONY of DEFEAT

Savion shed a tear as he empathized with Andy Roddick's heartbreaking loss to Roger Federer in the 123rd Wimbledon Championship.

When Federer got to match point, Savion said, "This is the Sampras Point."

JAM

"Keep your arms and legs inside. Hold on tight!"
