Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.

My Little Minnow

Kate is a Minnow with the Walton Park swim team.  To say that she loves it is an understatement.  Everyday she looks forward to going to swim team practice and learning "how to swim under water."  She is definitely a Daddy's little girl in that manner, I was not on the swim team when I was her age.  However, my first job was at the Walton Park Pool "snack shack" and I used to work during the swim meets.  My friend Jocelyn used to swim and I would watch her compete in between working.  So, I guess we are coming a little full circle here?
















Stephen, is extremely jealous.  He wants to do EXACTLY what his sister is doing.  He ever so slowly inches his way up to the side of the pool, slides beside two kids, and waits his turn to go across the pool.  Then he can't figure out why he does not get a turn.  Thankfully today the pool was open to everyone and we could spend time in the baby pool while the big girls had practice. 
















I really can't think of the better way to prepare Kate for swimming and she really enjoys it.  Can you tell?
