Summer's Here

We (finally) finished our school year last Thursday and now we're officially on summer break until August 1! Yay!

We kicked off our summer vacation with our first swim meet last Thursday. Our 'hood is starting up a team (omg..is it some kind of work) and the season culminated in an intra-squad meet last week. We got rained out on the scheduled day (seriously it hadn't rained in weeks until then) so we had to reschedule for Thursday. All 3 of my girls participated in the swim team and it was a fabulous experience for all of them. Emma and Lily learned all the strokes and had a great time doing it. Julia learned so much too and finished the season swimming all by herself! The girls did awesome in the meet too. Emma and Lily both won the main heat freestyles for their age groups therefore setting the pool records! And Julia won her heat in the freestyle. Emma won her heats in breaststroke and butterfly and came in 4th in backstroke! Lily did great too getting ribbons in backstroke and breaststroke! Julia got ribbons for those two. All in all a wonderful experience and we can't wait until next year when we are competing against other teams!

Friday morning we headed to the beach for a couple days to see mom and enjoy some beach time. My aunt and cousin were down too and we all had fun hanging out and playing! Unfortunately Paul had to get back to work (boo) so we came back Monday afternoon.

This week we've hanging out reading, playing and working on PTA stuff. Year round schools never get a break! We have Open House tomorrow where the girls find out their teachers for next year. Exciting! Next week Lily is headed to Camp Gagi for the week which she couldn't be more excited about. Hopefully we can all enjoy the downtime!
