For the past several summers, Hunter, Carson, (and now 5-year-old Jessie) have participated on a community swim team. Although the 7 AM practices take several weeks to get used to, we are now on a healthy schedule of early to bed and early to arise!
(I can't say the same for the teenagers.)
Tenacity and courage drive Jessie to swim beyond her abilities. At first glance of her in the water, one would panic and believe she would drown as it is only her small head that is bobbing above the water.
Yet, she is determined to make it the 25 yards to the FINISH LINE--even if she
DOG PADDLES
the entire way!
At 7 AM, Carson struggles with his warm-ups. His sit-up, push-up and stretching look more like an ad for hypermobility syndrome--
---condition that features joints that easily move beyond the normal range expected for a particular joint-
Brad's joints have always impressed circus professionals (and often zoo personnel near the Monkey enclosure) and Carson now takes after his father.
Several friends join Carson and Jessie on the swim team. Everything is better when you have friends!
Marianna Ward and Jessica model their cool goggles!
