Swimming with daddy!

Just some background info before I begin...About a year ago we had a family vacation/family reunion with Gent's side of the family. We went to Six Lakes which is by Altamont. It's just a private capming spot with a few cabins surrounded by six private lakes. We had a lot of fun fishing, catching crawdads, playing games, four wheeling, etc. One afternoon while Gent and I had all the little nieces and nephews with us catching crawdads Gentry decided that on the way back to the cabin he was going to jump in one of the lakes and swim to the other side. I didn't think this was a good idea but Superman didn't listen to me... So heading back he took off his shirt and shoes and jumped in. He got about 30 feet out and realized he wasn't going to make it. I don't know how to swim so there was no way I could jump in and help. After panicking for a minute, he turned around and made it back to us. It was pretty scary at the time but we like to laugh about it now. So on with my post...Gentry has decided that he is going to do a triathlon next fall so he has been exercising, biking, and swimming like crazy. He goes swimming at least 2-3 times a week. He has really improved and we are so proud of him. Treygen and I met up with him, Mike, Angel and Hunter last Friday to swim with them. Gentry did 26 lengths and then let me take a turn. I only did 12 and stopped in between. Not because I was tired but because I didn't know what I was doing. Then Gent got back in and did 20 lengths without stopping. He was very excited and would have kept going but we had to leave. Good job honey! I just wanted to show this video of the guys and Angel swimming. I didn't add on the video of me because it is way too embarassing. It really just looks like my arms and feet are flying about everywhere and I am out of control. I have no technique!

Hunt waiting to get in the water. One lifeguard came and told us he couldn't be in the lanes and to get a lifejacket on him so...

Here he is not very happy that he couldn't be in the water until his mom was done and having to wear this lifejacket.

Here I am with my goggles on, my earplugs in, and putting on my nose plug. I am a freak, I know... If I had one of those rubber hat things to put on my head it would have made me complete!

Thanks to Mike and his dad for letting us come swimming! We had a good time!
