Go Team U.S.A.

With all of the excitement of the opening ceremonies tonight I thought it appropriate to write about swimming! All 3 kids swam on a swim team this summer, the oldest 2 this is their second year! They swim for the Montereys and I have to say it is quite cute! Jackson has become pretty good and I must say the breaststroke is his thing! Abby is coming along, but the smile on her face when she finishes a race(last every time) is so worth it! She thinks this is the greatest! Olivia was a little nervous at first, but we have to say she is a natural! She swims so hard and then when she takes a breath... she stops! then start again! It is hysterical! All of them have been watching their time, and they are all improving pretty well! It is a huge commitment, practice on Mondays and Tuesdays w/ meets on Thurs. nights! For now they only swim on the summer league, we will be moving on w/ hockey soccer, piano lessons and all the other fun stuff back to school brings, but as we watch the games over the next few weeks... they will be encouraged! Who knows maybe we will have another Michael Phelps in the making! HA!
