They Clean Up Good

 Today was "Elegance Day" at high school. 

Club Meet

The boys had their club meet yesterday, where the parents can see how the kids' swimming has improved, and the little kids can hero-worship the big kids.  

Benjamin was 1st & Noah 3rd in 200-meter medley, Noah was 1st & Benjamin 2nd in 50-meter freestyle.

Really Good Sticks

Just when you think your kid is growing up, he comes home and says, "I found a really good stick on the way home. It's by the door if you want to see it."

Even a 17-year-old is not too old for a really good stick, apparently.

Happy Birthday to Noah!

Noah's birthday present this year is flying lessons. Yikes.
