John was in a photo contest today at the Henry Vilas Zoo. In part it was a fun way for photographers to try out a lot of different lenses, as free rental lenses were provided for the day. We thought it’d be cool for Owen and I to go along because, hey, it’s the zoo. […]

Busy day Thursday!
Owen’s last swim class of the week went great. They were doing lap after lap across the pool - front crawl, breast stroke, swimming as far as they could underwater on one breath, etc. I figured Owen would be wiped out afterward, but when we got in the car he said, “Mom, I […]

We were in Watertown all day helping the our club’s instructor with the Argonaut’s boot camp for National Geographic’s JASON Project. It was awesome.
The boot camp was comprised of 9 teenagers from all around the world (mostly U.S. states, but one was from New Zealand and another Italy). Besides the kids, there were a bunch […]

I think it’s safe to say the woman who runs the class, Denise, is the perfect blend of God and Satan.

Hooray! After several failed attempts due to scheduling conflicts, we finally had Owen’s friend Andrew over for a visit. He’s an awesome, awesome kid (with super nice parents too) and the two of them played nonstop inside and out for 3 hours straight. At the end of their visit, we walked Andrew home with walking […]

This morning Owen had his first Level 5 swimming class. The class has only two kids (sometimes happens in the higher level classes). That’s great though, because the added instruction is always awesome. Before we got there Owen was a little wary because his last class ended a few months back, but once he hit […]
