Soccer & Swimming

Last week was full of summer sports for Emma & Ethan!  We managed to get everywhere on time which is a task with all of their activities!  Everyone had a great time too.

Emma has had her last level of swimming lessons these past two weeks.  She had some difficult instructors with her learning to do the backstroke with a cup half full of water on her forehead, do laps in many different types of strokes in 12 minutes but she PASSED!  Emma has been taking swimming lessons at the Westerville Rec. Center and Highlands Aquatic Center since she was 3 years old...usually just once a year.  So now we are done unless she wants to try the swim team or taking diving.  Right now she said she wants to concentrate on dancing but will think about it later.

Last week Ethan had a summer soccer camp offered at Westerville Central High School.  The high school soccer players teach the kids in different age levels.  He was in Heaven and got a popsicle and a sticker each day.  He had a lot of fun and even won a water bottle the last day.

The past Saturday we decided to hit the pool and then go to the Westerville Music & Arts Festival.  It is a tradition we attend every year.  Emma and I love the local artists.  Miss Emma loves to draw and paint so she really enjoys the art!  It was pretty hot but the kids made some sand art and we had a funnel cake and dippin' dots!
