Polo!
Caleb has been playing water polo for the past 5 weeks (the older two wanted to play as well, but it meets at the same time as the base youth group . . . priorities). It’s been fun for him to have something to do that he gets to excel at all by himself.
Super humid by the poolside
Camille and I leave the pool and walk to ballet class.
Thursday afternoons are kind of ridiculous — get kids from school, drop 2 off at youth group. Next, head to base and drop one kid at base pool for water polo. Then take girlie to ballet (also on base). Meet Josh at class and transfer power to him, head back out and pick up boys from youth group. Back to base, meet up with Josh and Camille after class and walk to the pool to get Caleb from water polo. Then head home. It’s non-stop running between 3 and 6!
It’s all self imposed pain — I know they don’t have to do all those activities, but we are trying to 1) keep them physically active and 2) allow them to experience some “normal” American life. Since water polo is only a 5 week program it was worth the extra juggling for a short time.
End of season awards — it’s genius that their certificates are laminated so waterlogged, wet hands don’t turn them to mush!
worth it!
