The big kids have been tracked out for going on 5 weeks now. It is really hard to believe they go back to school Monday. Like REALLY hard to believe. We've been so busy that I feel like we have yet to experience summer. It's kind of a bummer.
Personal feelings aside...they've had a great break. One week they spent a few days with my Mom at the lake, a week at TKD camp, one week at Soccer Camp / Dance Camp, Swim team, and this week they have a week of being super lazy!
The biggest time commitment we made this summer was swim team. They have to make three practices and one meet per week. However, it's been honestly one of the most rewarding. Both kids could "swim" but neither knew real strokes. In the last 6 weeks the improvement in both of them has been tremendous. Savannah has an awesome backstroke. Caedmon has moved up from Heats 6, 7, and 8 to Heats 3 and 4. He's brought home a few Heat winner ribbons. Savannah as well. It's just incredible to watch them do something they really enjoy. When we go to the pool on the weekends, they make their own lessons up and practice for hours. Love it!!

And it is July already! It has been way to busy in many ways. So glad they enjoy a sport. So often when they do not it makes home life miserable. Finding something that they love, improving a skill, exercising, spending time outdoors and having fun all the while is awesome!
