Whoosh!

Hey, sorry I have not blogged in awhile. I have been soooooo busy. Well not really busy. Busy implies that you have been doing something important. Mostly I have been watching out for the kids and swimming, bouncing, and more swimming!
Thursday I went to my moms office. That afternoon I went with her to go pick Tracy, Mackenzie, Molly, Jennifer and Cameron up from the airport. Right after we got home from the airport I headed off to synchro practice. Wow, that was a long practice! The whole four hours I just wanted to be at home. It was a hard practice too. Four of my team members, counting me, had to do 4 50's, sprint dolphin kick there, sprint under back. Shannon, my coach, said that if one of us did not make our unders we would have to do that whole 50 over again! So unfair, but we had to add on two more 50's. (A 50 means 50 meters in a pool. Like, in the lap lanes?) Luckily, for the last half hour of practice we could either get out and stretch or stay in and work on figures. I worked on figures.
On Friday, we pretty much just hung out at my house. Jennifer and Cameron came over and we went swimming. The pool was pretty nice that day. I got the floaties and noodles and squirters out and we had fun. The only thing that could get Mackenzie and Cameron out of the pool was the trampoline. They loved to bounce on the trampoline. Boing, boing, boing! They were natural little pogo sticks! I had synchro practice again. It was only for an hour, though! It was all figures with my coach Shannon. Me and the person I share figures with, Paulina, got in and warmed up. Then we worked on figures for about an hour. These short periods are called privates. This way we get more one-on-one time with the coach. I have these every Friday.
Saturday, I had synchro practice from 9:00-1:00. Four hours again except at a different time. We have to bring a snack. I brought Sourdough toast with butter and I also brought raspberries. Yummy! By the time I got home it was already 2:00. I kept my suit on so I could get in and play with Cameron and Mackenzie. We had fun swimming and bouncing. In almost no time at all it was time to get out and get dry clothes on. Jennifer and Cameron stayed for dinner which was Thai marinated steak, white rice and cauliflower. The Thai steak was excellent and I would have eaten 17 more pieces except I did not want to seem like a pig! After that I read Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew to Mackenzie.
Sunday we had crepes for breakfast and they were Delicious! Then it was time to get swim suits and sunscreen on. We were headed to Canyon Lake! My dad, Mackenzie, and I went early to get a parking spot. The lake was cold and very dirty. It was very fun. Before my mom, Tracy, Molly, Jennifer and Cameron got out there Mackenzie and I made mud pies, played in the waves, splashed water and tried, without success to skip stones across the water. The others got here and Mackenzie and I got out to meet Cameron. We snacked on Cheetos, Poor Brothers salt and vinegar chips and cherries. We had ham/roast beef sandwiches for lunch. We also had limeade, coke, cherries, chips, Cheetos, and best of all, brownies. Yum, yum. We went home and swam, bounced and had dinner. Dinner tonight was Spedies, bread, and corn on the cob.
On Monday, everyone went swimming again, even though the pool was cold. Today the game was throwing dive sticks through a folded noodle. We just hung out and then we had lunch. After lunch Jennifer and Cameron left and Tracy, Mackenzie, Molly and I got ready to go pick my mom up from work. Then my mom drove us to our friend Aleesha's house and dropped Tracy, Mackenzie, Molly off for a sleepover with Kiera. On the drive home, my mom and me stopped at Jack in the Box and got a Oreo shake and a water. Then my family went and met Jennifer and Cameron for Mexican food. It was pretty good but I've had much better.
So that's what I have been doing all this week. Sorry again if I did not update my blog soon enough for you!
