Go Cudas

Summer swim team is in full swing down South!!!  I mean, we’ve actually been at it for three full weeks.  I adore the routine of getting up and out of the house, and the littles love hanging with their friends every day.  I used the same easy peasy system as last year for culling all of those coveted ribbons…

I printed and laminated small tags with their names on them and clipped it all together with a large 2″ Ring Clip (these are GREAT for so many things).  See?  Super simple!

John has moved up to the nine/ten age group this year.  Little fish in a big pond.  Literally!  But he’s been great about letting the older kids inspire him and drive him to be better so it’s working.
The baby has been practicing up with the seven/eight year olds because the timing of that works waaaay better for Mommy :-)  I was thinking he’d be none the wiser, but you really can’t get anything past him.  He doesn’t mind and he totally hangs, even with the practice encompassing all four strokes and going for a full hour rather than 30 minutes!

The littles raked up at their first meet, with John swimming five events and Whit in three.

It just wouldn’t be summer without swim team!  It was one of the reasons we moved to this neighborhood… I have so many fond memories of spending my summers the exact same way!!  Oh, and we can totally check this one off the Summer Bucket List.
