Swim Team Picture

The Beverly Crest Sharks: (minus at least 15 kids who were on  vacation!)

Chores

Amelia has started being ridiculously helpful around the house -- washing dishes, drying them and putting them away, loading the dishwasher, setting the table and helping me with dinner! Charlie? Not so much. 

Water Babies

Irony

I came across this as I was cleaning out Amelia's backpack after the last day of school :)

First Swim Meet

The kids competed in their first swim meet, an away meet at Cameron Woods, on June 11th and let me tell you it was HOT! The Sharks were at a distinct disadvantage because we had many swimmers who were on vacation, but we still put in a great effort! (i.e we got crushed.) Charlie swam his best 25 meter freestyle at 18:46 which earned him 10th place -- those are some competitive swimmers!! Here are some pictures.

Gymnastics Update

Amelia finished up her Friday night Tumbling class on June 10th and started the summer session of Rec 1 on June 14th, with the encouragement of coach Frank who said he thinks she has a future in gymnastics! Amelia has now graduated to an intimidating Russian coach :-)

Water balloons And Ice Cream Sundaes

We greeted the kids off the bus on their last day of school with water balloons. super soakers and ice cream sundaes!!

A Rising First Grader and Fifth Grader!

Where have my babies gone??
Here are the kids on their last day of school, June 9th! (Amelia is wearing pjs for pajama day.)

End of Year Kindergarten Party

Also on June 6th Amelia had her end of year kindergarten party. Let's just say the circus theme of the party was very appropriate!

"The Greensboro Sit In"

On June 6th and 7th Charlie's 4th grade class performed the play "The Greensboro Sit In", about the sit in at the whites-only lunch counter at a Woolworth's in Greensboro during the civil rights movement. Charlie played the part of Mr. Harvey, the Woolworth's store manager.

Here are some pictures -- the kids did a great job even though they may have been missing some certain, err, qualifying characteristics!

The Two Amelias

Big Amelia and Little Amelia, respectively:

Time Trials

Beverly Crest Sharks' time trials were on June 2nd. Charlie's strongest event is 25 meter freestyle with a time at time trials of 19 seconds!

Goodbye Spring Football

The kids had their last game of spring flag football on June 4th; for Amelia this was probably her last game ever! For Charlie this was his last game until he starts summer flag football, on June 25th :-)

Here is Amelia displaying her trophy:
