Busy Days
Yesterday Katie had Swim Team time trials. The whole meet atmosphere was a little intimidating, I think, especially as she had to swim up with an older age group. There is a swim team culture like there is a gymnastics culture: kids put in a lot of hours, and parents spend several hours waiting to see their kids in action for 45 seconds at a time.
Today Katie leaves for a week of sleep-away camp. She's very excited about it -- Mary Ellen and I are a little more subdued, because she's still our little girl. Sean plays for the town baseball league championship today, capping a season that saw him start slow and really improve his hitting, fielding and baserunning. Now he loves baseball, too. Happy Father's Day.
Update: Sean's team lost an exciting 9-8 game. Sean played well, and wowed the crowd with a perfect round-off back handspring as he ran out to get his runner-up trophy.
