A's First Swim Meet

It's been a very busy summer, so far. A is on a swim team at our local rec center. She gets up early, every morning, gets to the pool and practices with the team. They had their first meet on July 10th. She's had a lot of fun and it's a great workout. I have an abundance of admiration for her and the whole team. Go Orcas!



Egghead!
