Ribbons galore!

As you can see, the kids did well at their swim meets this week!

Benjamin had a whole fistful of blue (first place) ribbons:

Coach Heidi approached me about the possibility of him swimming on the high school team, which he's super excited about! He wouldn't be a star swimmer (to start out with; he'd probably be in the slowest lane), but he's showing a lot of potential and she'd love to have him when he graduates from middle school. He'll be heading to the county meet on the freestyle relay.

Zoë had a whole fistful of red (second place) ribbons:

She'll be heading to the county meet as part of the freestyle and medley relays. She was also invited to sing the national anthem!

Alexander had a whole fistful of speed-breaker ribbons (rainbow):

He's improving every day! We just have to nail side breathing and he'll be golden moving forward.

Phoebe was just there for the food and the swimming:
