Most of you know that Scott and I both grew up diving. We lived in different states, never met when we were young, but have found that we were both at many of the same competitions. While Scott was taking first in his age group, I was taking last. No joke. BUT - despite the difference in our capabilities and talents, it is a fun thing to have in common! We have both agreed that as long as our kids want to (and we can afford it).... they will be on a diving team. For now -- their dive team is "Randall Aquatics".
We ventured over to the college near our house and spent the afternoon playing around. Scott had to do some stretching before he attempted his old skillz...
And off he went...
Where's my pictures you ask? PA-LEEEZZ... if you ever want to see me dive. Drive to my mom's house, find my old videos, and something that plays those old school tapes, and there you have it. For now - you will see me behind the camera. :)
Jackson was all over the boards. 3-meter? It was nothin'! He jumped off like he was competing at nationals for the 10th time. It was so awesome to watch.
Clara watched from the sidelines....
For about 2 minutes and then she herself... climbed up the 3-meter ladder and was off. No joke. My kids are braver than me. But that is because I am older, and I know better.
We just finished up some swimming lessons for Clara. And she is quite the fish. Scott (or myself) was always there to help her in the water....
But she was basically always swimming on her own. Way to go little Clara!
We are going back next week, the last day the pool is open and will be doing this all over again. It was just too much fun!

Good job little fish! I miss you guys!
That's so cute! Abbie and Lillie and Jackson can have some great diving contests when we are there. Jackson looks like a natural and Clara is so brave.
