Summer Achievement

The big excitement around here during the summer is heading to the YMCA pool and hitting the water slides. But, before you can slide the raging water you gotta pass the swimming test - jumping in, swimming with your head in and using your arm "scoops", and making it to the ladder. G passed the test last year with flying colors the first time, K it took until mid-July before he could conquer his fears and earn the coveted plastic tie band.

This year, our first trip to the Y, and both passed the swimming test first time in the water.  You would have thought they both earned a free trip to Disney world - and then proceeded to spend the next 45 minutes water-sliding non-stop.
