Summer Swimming

One thing we missed last summer was swimming.  We were at the Hill Cumorah pageant for three weeks and Mindy had girls' camp so we didn't sign up for the local recreational swim team.  But this summer we were home more so we did it.  Last week was the last swim meet and now it's over.  Mindy swam the butterfly and the backstroke for her races.




As for Camille, I realized that despite taking lots of swimming lessons for several summers in a row, she had not really learned much swimming at all.  So I signed her up for adaptive swimming which means she gets private lessons for the price of the group lessons!  It's great.  I figure since she qualifies for adaptive PE at school and has some gross motor delays, she qualifies for the adaptive swimming.  With private instruction, she has made a lot more progress and can now float on her back and front.  She's working on her kicking and her side breathing now.

Bruce and Michelle organized the activities and did a good job. I enjoyed myself! Hopefully lots of other people did too. We showed up on Wednesday afternoon and enjoyed a taco salad dinner, served by Neil and Kristie's family. We also worked on two mixer games:  a word search with the names of all 100 Hansen family members as well as a Bingo card that involved finding people with different attributes like recent high school graduation, birthdays in certain months, etc. The word search was definitely the most popular. Also popular was playing Nine-Square and Sandy Pickle (a cross between pickle ball and badminton). Thys and Katrina might have won! After dinner, we had an FHE activity/lesson. Liz had made a book with stories of the first ancestors to join the church. She had selected different stories for us to act out in g...
