Swim Team 2011

Last year, my two oldest boys joined the summer swim team with the parks dept.  This year all three boys and my youngest girl joined!  It was a lot of work, but they all did great.  My oldest got 1st place in freestyle in his age group at the citywide meet.

Our second child, and oldest son, turned 15 a week ago.  He just keeps getting taller and his hair is getting curlier and he's becoming a hard worker. We love him so much.

Yosemite 2011

We went to Yosemite the first week of June and met up with friends. It was pretty cold, with some rain.  We hiked to the top of Upper Yosemite Falls, the first time for most of us!  The good news is, it wasn't hot at all which made for easier hiking. The bad news is, it snowed on the way up! But we made it, and I was sore for a week. I mean really sore! Not in shape at all.  On the rainy day, we all stayed in our unit playing games. It was a blast! My 14yo son took some of these.
