VBS

Vacation Bible School was AWESOME!
Son Surf Beach Bash was the theme.

Every day was fun, many days we had play dates at friends houses or we had friends over.  It was the BEST week!

(Mom took no pictures.)

Adley enjoyed serving with the Kindergarten group.  Nathanael was on the Turtle team and Jeremiah was on the Dolphin team.

Water Day was Friday - the gym leaders sprayed many with the hose and they played some super fun wet games.

So FUN!  Time to relax on Saturday!

Duct Tape Boat Regatta!

Our pool hosted a duct tape boat regatta - first time this year.
Monday was the build - Adley and Nathanael were on different teams!

Thursday was the boat phase.  One team member had to get the boat to one end of the pool.  The rest of your team could swim it back to the start.  No touching the bottom, no sinking the boat!

Nathanael's Team went in the second heat (There were 15 boats entered)!

Adley's Team was in the third heat!

Adley's buddy Timmy is on his belly kicking behind.

One of the boats disintegrated in the middle of the pool.  The next heat had to be postponed while teens and older kids dragged the bulk of the soggy cardboard out.  After all the races they spent a bit of time on vacuum and net sweeping before the kids could swim.  

This was fun - we've got great ideas for next year - if the pool will do it again!

Love,

The silly sailors

Trip to Memere & Papa Kings

Wow, we are behind!  We had a super trip, Nathnaael, Jeremiah and Mom, to Memere's and Papa Kings while Dad and Adley were in Hartford.  We started out in the pool!  We brought a load of sugar wood in the tractor, we swam some more!  We played games and had so much fun.  We returned home and found a dead fish...so we welcome Bluey to the tank!  He has been enjoying his time with Red Fin.

Love,
The fun travelers!

Swim Team

We've been having a blast on the swim team!
Our first meet on Monday was a bit intense - that team was large and really good.  Our home meet we did great!
Jeremiah got first in the 25y Breast Stroke
Adley got first in 50y Breast Stroke
Nathanael got third in the 50y Breast Stroke.

The guys swam 3 events on Monday and 4 events on Wednesday.

This is Nathanael coming in!  A 100y freestroke relay

50y Backstroke - Adley's in the closest lane - Nathanael in the furthest!

I think this is Jeremiah Backstroke 25y in the closest lane

Big guys taking off the blocks.

We're having some swimming FUN!

Love,

The 3 fishes
