Summer, Synco and More Swimming

First Off it is amazing at how fast a month can go by. Before you know it school will be back in and in our kids case we are just 3 Weeks away. It is insane that school starts down here so early, i mean come on now it is still 100+ degrees outside. But that is Arizona, I mean what else would you expect from a state that has a Governor who passes a Law to ALLOW people who have concealed weapons permits to carry a gun in to a bar or drink establishment. Apparently it is OK to mix Guns and Alcohol now. But this is also the same Governor that did not pass the 4th of July Fireworks law that would allow you to by small fireworks because she said it was to much or a safety concern to the public. But allowing people to carry a gun in to a bar is completely safe for everyone. OK I wont rant.

So yes summer is almost over for us and it seems to have just flown by. Taylor and Ryan did great this year in swim team and syncro. Taylor was 1 of 4 girls on her swim team to quality for the IM meet she did a great job swimming 4 laps of the pool at one time and even though she finished in 8th palace she really did a great job! Ryan also did great in swimming this year she swam very hard and was a lot of times just inches away from finishing in the top 2 in all her races. It's funny our kids are not competitive at all and sometime you just wish they where a little. But either way they are both great swimmers.

Holden is getting more and more comfortable in the water and he will go under water and kick his legs and move his arms as he tries to swim. He loves going down in the shallow water and picking up swim rings of the bottom. Its fun to see him in action.

Last week Ryan finished up with syncro. 2 weeks ago her and her partner finished 3 in the qualifying meet. They did a duet to the song "Conga" and yes it was the one with the Miami Sound machine! In the finals they finished in 5th place missing 3rd place by just .2. They made up for that by taking first place in the Team Routine with a wonderful number to a Marry Poppins Remix of songs. I will say this I am sure she is glad that is all over now, because getting up at 6:30 every morning is now way to spend your summer!

Here is a little video of her Duet number.
