Have I mentioned that Christian joined the high school swim team! It has been fun to watch him try new things! They practice at Woodberry Forest, a nearby boarding school, at 8:30 every night! It is really late and the bus doesn't get back to the school until 10:15. If Christian rides back on the bus, then he won't get home until 10:30 and to bed really really late. So... instead most nights, when there isn't a basketball game or an activity at the church, I drive him there, wait in the lobby for an hour and then we drive home. Even this way it is pretty late, but still we get home about 30 minutes earlier than if he has to ride the bus back to the school. Again... we are crazy.
Even though it is late, he really likes it and it is cool to see him improving and learning quickly. Because he is an 8th grader (there is also an 8th grade girl on the team), a lot of his races don't count, but are exhibition races. He is staying in great shape though, learning a lot, and making friends.
Danny and I had fun going to this meet- it was a big one with lots of schools and was exciting to watch. We also enjoyed a dinner date at 5 guys before the meet.
