First I have to brag on my girl a little bit. On Friday she earned a spot on the Bearkat Elite wall at school. To get your name on this wall, you have to display certain behaviors throughout the year including effort, self-control, and respect. She almost made it on the wall last year and this year she worked very hard to get a spot! We are so very proud of her hard work and of this accomplishment!
Today we had time trials for Norchester Dolphins summer swim team. Claire was the bomb today! She swam her heart out and we could definitely see how much being on swim team at Fleet has helped her improve her swimming skills. She swam so well that her times beat many of the 9 and 10 year old girls times! Yes, I am bragging a bit again! God has given her a talent for swim and I am so thankful she is enjoying every minute of it! It takes a lot of time and dedication to be a swimmer. She has practice 5 nights a week and meets for the next 6 Saturdays. In her practices she swims at least 1000 meters every night (which is at least 20 laps). I am exhausted just watching her. Yet we have never heard her say she didn't want to go to practice or didn't like it. She is always ready to go and give it her best. Love her spirit and determination!
Here she is waiting on the ready bench for her turn to swim.
Starting the back stroke.
Swimmers, take your mark...
and do the 25 meter butterfly.
As if being at a time trial all morning wasn't enough, she got mom to jump in the pool at home for a little fun in the sun after we got home!
Then it was off to the Casting Crowns concert with Dad!
