Swim Meets and Rockets!

Today was Skylar's first swim meet (and I forgot the camera!) and she did really well. She dropped 3 seconds in each her freestyle and backstroke (from her best times last year) and 2 seconds in breaststroke. She also did really well in her 100 IM. She is about 2 seconds away from qualifying for the big Tri-State Meet at the end of the year. And this is only the first meet of the year! When we got home, they worked on finishing up the rockets they got earlier in the week. Then we went out to a big field to shoot off the rockets. It was really neat and the kids just loved it. This is something JT did as a child with his dad so he was really happy to bring some of his childhood to his kids and have them enjoy it!

Awesome!

Then they have to run to get the rocket.

We got it! Let do it again!
