The update of the my life -- literally

 If you don't get the title, don't feel bad. It was a bad pun...

Anyhoo, Where did I leave off.....oh! Friday! Right!

 So Friday morning, since our neighbors were moving in, we babysat for  them and for all the helpers who had kids. We were actually expecting more, but there were only 4!

 Jubilee, the daughter of the people who are moving in, Gannon, a friend, and Amelia and Jonah who are brother and sister and were also friends. They are all really sweet and super fun.

Jubilee loved that hat! :)
Then, after the kids left, Isaac had Isaiah (Sophie and Emily's brother) and Zach and Josh (the twins who do swimming with us) over to sleepover in the treehouse. I was in charge of food (as always...) and I also helped them build a zip-line!!! It was really really fun!

Then it was Josh's turn

So that was really fun. They all watched the Olympics ceremony with us and then we watched more of the Olympics in the morning. Plus, Zach brought their Xbox, so we played that too... :)

  So far, the Olympics are going GREAT! They're so much fun to watch and so motivating for swimming! :)

This morning, we did a bunch of Breaststroke sets at swim team. Which means we had to do this thing called "skulling" which I'm REALLY bad at. I basically just look like I'm drowning the whole time.
I like this picture of me...I look happy and professional! :)

  7. It wasn't super reliable because they didn't have a cable. They were just using rope and it bent a ton with their weight. So it wasn't very good and we're working out a better place to put it up.
