The girls are doing swim team this summer and so far, it's been a success! M is extremely enthused about the sport, the meets, the practices, & new friends. A is the very youngest on the team, so while she is really good, she is in the 8 & under group, so naturally there are many 8 year olds who are faster than her, so she's not quite as excited as her older sister, but still seems to be having fun!:) It's been a neat experience for Doug and I too, the meets are quite the events and lots of fun! M has qualified for conference in the backstroke which she is super proud of. Sadly, our family vacation is scheduled the week of conference AND the swim team family BBQ -- sigh!:( Maybe next year!
