Hiking, Graduation, Band Concerts, Students of the Month, Science Fair, and Junior Olympics - A little bit of catching up!

A bit behind on my photos from the kids

Jayden receives the Student of the Month award for April



 

Science Fair Project - which foods will make you swim faster?  Jayden thought of this idea all on his own

Graham a little less creative in the science fair project department decided to find out which fizzed more - Diet Pepsi or Regular Pepsi

Both boys qualified for Long Course Junior Olympics this summer - Jayden in the 50 fly and Graham in the 400 free, 800 free, and 1500 free.  Graham found his niche in the long distance events

The Junior Olympic team (12 and under) being silly with their streamline pose
 

when you swim the distance events and the end of the meet - you don't have to worry about a crowded warm up pool, right Graham?

Jillian attended a Kindergarten Academy program for 1 month this summer
she received an award for perfect attendance

Graham enjoying his Junior Olympic dinner - when Jayden qualified for JO's last spring, I took him to dinner.  Graham qualified this summer, so I owed him a dinner :)
Graham just after breaking a Team Record in the 800 free and qualifying for Far Western's Swim Meet.  He also broke the 1500 free Team Record earlier this summer and will also swim the 1500 free at Far Western's.
