Back in April (I told you...I am WAY behind on some blog posts), we were hanging out with some friends at the Hyatt Resort swimming pools when none other than Drew Brees, the quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, walked past us!
He was there on vacation with his family so we didn't want to bother him, especially while he was playing with his kids, but it just so happened that the pool Drew and his family were playing in was the pool that Noah loves to play in, too :-) It is basically a fake beach (as in fake sand and not salt water) lagoon area so the kids can walk into it, and there is a large, shallow area for the smaller ones to play and splash around.
As luck would have it, Noah ended up playing with Drew's oldest son Baylen, which led to Drew and I getting to chat :-D
Of course, at this point I couldn't take any pictures because then it would have been really awkward and not about two parents chatting about their kids (but I promise, we really were up close and personal with him, haha).
The last part of this story is Ely's favorite part: Drew Brees *saving* Noah's life:
Noah and Baylen (who is actually a year and a half older than Noah but about the same size as Noah, haha) were playing a game where they were each in an inner tube and they would bump into each other. As they were playing, they started getting into deeper water and one time when Baylen went to bump Noah, Noah sort of fell out of his tube and lost his footing and went underwater. Drew ran to Noah and plucked him out of the water, thus saving his life!!!
***As a side note, Drew just happened to be the closest adult to Noah when it happened, but had he not been there I would have been able to pick Noah up out of the water myself...or if Noah had bothered to try standing up his head would have come out of the water...so there was no real danger involved but it sounds much cooler to say that Drew Brees saved our son's life ;-)
Here are the few pictures I did manage to covertly snap of Drew Brees:
This was intended to be a family photo, but the girl who took the picture just happened to get Drew bending over in the background in the top left corner ;-)
Noah chatting with Drew's wife and sister-in-law (I feel like these photos may border on stalkerish, but I was just taking photos of my own child swimming in the pool...honest...hehe)
There he is!!!
Drew was a VERY nice guy and was great with Noah!
I have several more pictures from our day at the Hyatt that I will eventually post :-D
