Regan Gets to Swim With Olympians

Swim season is upon us and we kicked it off this weekend with Regan swimming at a clinic directed by 2 former Olympic swimmers, Ian Crocker and Megan Jendricks. She had a great time and really didn't want to take that medal off! The clinic was a little bit instructional but mainly inspirational. Every kid even got to race against the olympians! Regan was excited because she swam in the lane next to Megan one time and Megan high fived her at the end of the race. Every olympic swimming story I've heard or read begins with "When I was little I was a terrible swimmer.... i didn't even like to put my face in the water!" Guess that leaves both of mine out. We've never had that problem. Swim team registration begins tomorrow and soon our lives will be all consumed by it! Life will be crazy between that and the summer tennis team we are putting together. We are determined to get back to Dallas! Not many weeks left of school, Yeah! Definately ready for a break from that. Regan gets braces (top only) on Wednesday. Should be fun. Better stock up on applesauce and yogurt for awhile. Weather here is finally normal! Warm and sunny. Just makes you want to sit outside and bask in it, at least until the mosquitos make a comeback, which I'm sure they will.

Wild Texas Still Exists

We are just headed back from an adventure filled Spring Break in Concan, Texas, where we spent several days kayaking down the Frio River. This place was pretty close to the middle of nowhere. And as an added adventure, we drove to the middle of the middle of nowhere. Miles and miles of dirt (mud) roads and not a gas station, grocery store, or even a car to be seen. We had some good weather, some bad, but it didn't make a difference to the kids. Water is water to them whether it's 80 or 40 outside. Regan has found a new sport to love... kayaking. She, as well as all the kids, spent hours just paddling around the river.

I never knew there were so many stars in the sky. It's amazing what you can see when you have absolutely no city lights infringing. We could sit there and watch the satellites go by. Nice to know that places like that still exist. On a side note, may every single one of the supposed 216 votes today be marked for eternity as the individuals that began the deliberate destruction of our country.
