Swim pictures 2025

Swim season is going strong - here are the kids swim pictures! See if you can spot the kids in the team picture...

Everyone moved up an age bracket this year, so they're working on new champs cuts this year.

Go Flyers!

Kid Dates 15

I took Eleanor to Menchie's and then we went thrifting for our date. We really needed Antelope with us, though!

Chris and Jane got milkshakes and played Golden Eye. It was a slap fight to the finish.

We took advantage of Eleanor and Jane being gone in June and did dates with the twins to Water Country. I took Ben and Chris took Rosie.

Rosie rode Vanish Point for the first time! Jane and Ben still haven't ridden this one! She was kind of "meh" on the ride but was glad she did it. You have to give the lifeguard a thumbs up before they drop the floor out from under you and Rosie kept shaking her head "no" when the guard asked if she was ready. They reopened the tube to see if she wanted to get out, but she said no, she still wanted to go. The guard told her if she wanted to, she had to give a thumbs up or the guard wasn't allowed to release her. She crossed her arms and legs, gave the guard the thumbs up, and the guard pressed go! Chris said the second the floor dropped, her arms and legs flew out to try to grab the wall. He said it was very cute! Rosie even had her own cheer section - friends happened to walk by just as she was coming down the slide!

SB2W - 2025

Eleanor and Jane headed off to Summer's Best Two Weeks again this summer! I made a video that really is for the girls for memories so putting it here for posterity. It's all clips from drop off and pick up and a couple pictures that were posted on Instagram. The camp made a highlight reel from time at camp that I will link to, as well!

And they settled in just fine! Jane was a Rookie in cabin 2 this year.

And Eleanor jumped from cabin 3 (Junior Varsity) up to cabin 5 (Varsity).

The girls were thrilled to be back at the Que.

We found out a girl from church was a counselor this year so there was a familiar face on campus!

Bye girls!

A couple instagram pictures: 

We didn't see much of anything from them, but I did get two calls from camp this year. Eleanor had a neck injury that thankfully wasn't too serious that she couldn't stay, and Jane got an ear infection. Apparently she was the only Rookie to get a super in swimming and do the optional one mile lake swim. She also represented the Romans in the swimming portion of the octathalon. Meanwhile Eleanor got her overall small "S" again. Jane was so close! Maybe next year.

Jane majored in basketball, which was her top choice. Eleanor majored in dance, which she says she highly regrets, hah!

Lots of great times this year:

Then we decided to take Ben and Rosie with us for pick up. On the way we stopped in Winchester to see Shug and Rachael.

That night we went out to eat and the twins got huge chocolate milks.

We stayed at a hotel and played phase 10 dice. It was POURING rain.

And stopped at Shake Shack in the morning to play.

Then it was pick up time!

It was so great to get a little glimpse of what went on at camp this week.

Rosie and Ben are ready to go!

Eleanor and Hannah played a prank where they only sent letters to each others' parents, hah! Here are some of Eleanor's letters:

Goodbye SB2W! See you next year!
