A Huge part of our summer!!

Mona is the one in the cool pink cap!
After spending 4 hours at a swim meet last night, I felt that it would be good to document this sport that takes up so much of our summer lives. The kids go to swim team every day for an hour in the months of June and July and compete in several meets. They sometimes go grudgingly but always come home in a better mood. It is fun to watch them progress from the first exhausting day when they can barely make it accross the pool, to now when they are able to win races and can swim 20 laps without blinking an eye...well maybe they might blink, but they could do it! Last night Alex was sick, and Eli was feeling "non-competitive" so Mona was the only one racing. She did awesome in all of her events and her coach calls her "the breaststroke queen". Way to go girl!

Mona....we are proud of you. We remember going to swim meets for your mom when she was your age. Seems like just yesterday.

Love,
