3 amigos

Play date with some old preschool friends!

Anna Schiebel had Lucy and Anna (swim team friends now and friends since they were 3) over for a playdate one day after swim. So much fun!!!

Microsoft Computer Camp

A couple weeks ago the girls went to the free Microsoft computer camp with Kate. They learned to create 3-D art and had so much fun! It didn't bother them at all that it was at the mall; it just meant some shopping too!

They were bummed when the fourth and final day of this camp camp and didn't want it to end. We will definitely do this one again next summer!

While the girls did computer camp, Googah, Lil Googah and I walked around the mall for 2 hours each day. We managed to find lots of fun stuff to do!

Swim Meet #3

Over 3 weeks ago the girls had their 3rd swim meet of the season. Anna was beyond thrilled to earn all the colors of the rainbow from this meet!!!!

And the results of swim meet #3 for the 8 and unders!

Breast- 5th- 47.03
Free Relay- 2nd- 1:57.07

Ashley
Free- 23rd- 36.68 sec

Back- 7th- 33.13
Breast- 3rd- 35.06
Free (she subbed in a swam with 9 and 10 year olds)- 2:03.32

This meet was a special one since Anna and Ashley went head to head (same heat) in the breaststroke. Ashley was on fire and swam her best in that stroke I have ever seen while Anna didn't; resulting in Ashley winning by 12 obvious seconds. Ashley came running up to Anna and said, "I knew I could beat you!!! YAY!" And then tears, and tears and more tears.... After about a 10 minute pep talk one mommy's lap, things were resolved. Let's just say Anna has been trying a little bit harder in the breaststroke since this!
