Swim Team

Swim team season has come and gone now.  This was Rachel's fourth year and Jackson's first year swimming.  They both really enjoyed it and are continuing to improve on their strokes.  The friendships they develop through this is always a plus as well!  Here are some pictures from throughout the season.

 

 

The first meet - all ready to swim for the first time.

 

 

Each home meet was a different theme this year.  Below is a team picture on Disney night - they all have Mickey ears on.

Team cheer!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rachel has a new friend in the neighborhood - she is on the Cobb county side, but still. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They participated in the county swim meet this time as well.  It was a long and hot day but they enjoyed it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the luau themed swim banquet last night. 

 

 

 

The 9-10 girls and the 5-6 boys.

 

 

It was a good season.  Michael was on the board this year so he was extra busy all the time.  I hate it's over so quick but now we have a month to relax before school starts back and cheerleading starts for Rachel.  Enjoy the rest of summer!

Beach Fun

We went to the beach for a long weekend this past week.  It was a trip that had its ups and downs, but overall, we had a good time.  We had good weather all day on Friday and after that we had a lot of rain and storms off and on and even the start of a tropical storm.

Playing Putt-Putt...

 

 

 

Rachel discovered air-brush t-shirts and got her first one.

 

 

 

Their first Shirley Temple drink...a little sour!

 

 

 

 

Ice cream afterwards - delicious!

 

 

Last night on the beach before driving home in the pouring rain.

 

 

Fun times!
