Blue Ribbon Swimming

I'm so proud of Timo and Cameron for earning their blue ribbons in swimming! It was a really hard ribbon to earn and took about three weeks of trying. Each week Cameron would tell her teacher she was ready for the swim test and each week she would fall short by one "up face".  You had to jump off the wall, swim out with 5 up faces, back to the wall with 5 up faces and climb out.  I'm especially proud of Timo for making up lost ground in such a short time to earn his ribbon at the same time as his sister. Now we are on to the "red ribbon" where they have to learn how to float and swim on their backs..exciting!

Woot woot!  Our blue ribbons!!

I was so excited that I called Young and he got off work early and we took the kids out for dinner to celebrate.  A little "cheers" with their milk!  How cool is it that your best friend is your twin?!
