:thumb:Wow, that's fantastic!

Sweet!! Awesome news, monster. :)

thanks. She did go. she's all "meh" about it. She really has a shot of winning the league in this stroke this year. I think she knows that and doesn't want to jinx it. She's so awesome :)

Which Olympics is she targeting? :)

oh 2016 I should think. Question is, will she be an American by then? ;)

Actually I had drawn the original picture demonstrating that germs are on surfaces, they get on our hands, and then when we eat food they could get in our body by going in our mouth. She came back later and showed me her picture of a mean germ, a boy with a germ on his hand, and then he is sad because the germ made him sick. And under the mean germ she wrote the word germs! The "S" has an arrow showing you where it goes, she said.

They all did good at the swim meet today, but Hector is the total star.....

Butterfly is his 2nd best stroke, he's good at it. He has a good personal best for 50 fly -43.xx seconds. When you're a kid, you expect to beat your personal best on a regular basis. When you're good, taking off a secong is awesome. Even a half second is celebrated.

Today he swam a 40y fly (our pool is only 20 yards) -starting from the side, not blocks- in 30 seconds. Calculating that up to at 50yard time means HE DROPPED 6 SECONDS! SIX! Without a start from the blocks! He came in second out of maybe 30 -and he just aged up so was swimming against kids up to two years older than him.

He so rocks. :D

Sweet!

Dynomite!
