Kelly and Christian had their first swim team practice last night where the actually got into the water. They said it was just perfect. They got a really good workout, but it was not so onerous that they could not handle it. It sounds like there is some good coaching going on, too. They will be swimming in the evenings for the next couple of weeks. That works out well for us while we are still in school. They will switch to doing a morning swim starting in mid-June. That will be great to get everyone out of bed and going during the summer. The YMCA where they swim is a beautiful, brand new facility. While Christian and Kelly are working out in the pool, Lorena goes indoors to work out on an elliptical machine. The exercise is great for her, but I fear that she is watching Oprah while she spins!! The kids have never swam in a meet before. They will get the chance to do that several times this summer. We are all looking forward to that.
Our next big project, and for the Chapman family this is a very important project, will be to find a place to either pick or buy a TON of blueberries. I got to North Carolina this time last year and remember there being some of the most beautiful blueberries I have ever seen on sale in Harris Teeter. We love to load up the freezer with blueberries, then eat them like candy for the rest of the year. I will keep you posted on our progress.
That’s so Cool! I am on the swim team too. It is hard work but
but some times we get play day.
That is great Addie! You need to let us know how you do in the swim meets!
