The summer is cruising along. The kids are all busy swimming! Scotia is swimming like a Brown! The first meet of the season I saw her on the block for 15Y backstroke main event with no kid catcher anywhere nearby. I thought, don't they know she's never done backstroke without someone holding her? But lo and behold she swims backstroke excellently under pressure.
Jaxon is a great swimmer - his fly is amazing! And Taye looks like a super hero in the water. He's unbeatable. The Browns are a great source of pride for our little neighbourhood swim team. It's all relative, right? A superhero at summer swim is an average swimmer at the state meet.
We are all biking back and forth to swim. My goal to physically exhaust my children each day is going well :-)
Taye also participated in a year round swim meet. It was his first meet as an 11 years and 10 day old and he walked away with two BB times. That's a great start on his way to a goal of an AAA time. He's still got about 700 days to meet it!
The boys also participated in the Hershey Track Meet on recommendation of their school gym teacher - (he's also on a mission to exhaust them).
Jaxon placed 3rd in the 100 yard dash and 3rd in the 200 yard dash. Taye placed 3rd in the 100 yard dash and 1st in the long jump and got to move on to the regional meet for the long jump.
I was lucky enough to have all three kids at the regional meet on our first "hot" day of summer. It was 95 degrees and crazy humid and that's all I remember. Taye placed third with a jump of 7 feet 2 inches. Wow!
This sunset on the way home made us all feel better...
And my work out schedule? It sucks. I don't like dragging kids to the gym nursery in the summer so I run around the block, or count a bikeride, or try to squeeze something in on the days Tyrone is home. Just a few weeks til school starts!
PS Mom - Tyrone and Taye went to pick out new sneakers on the way to year around swim practice - they found a snazzy florescent blue pair and made it to swim on time.
