Swimming.

Went swimming with the kids today.

Parker figured out how to do a back flip and taught Oliver.
Elizabeth figured out how to do a front flip and taught Miranda.
Parker tried to do his swim test (swimming 25 yards freestyle). Did it great as a practice with no one watching, but then stopped 2 feet before the end the real time. They made him swim it again since he was so young (not many 5 year olds ask to take the swim test) and there was a teacher in his lane and he lost it and started crying. He was just too tired. 75 yards in 8 minutes is too hard for a little guy. He was sad and said he wanted to try again when he was 6.
The girls are quite the swimmers these days. I'm still nervous, but they seem damn good to me.

Going again tomorrow with Grammy and Ginny.
