California McMillans

I can't believe the season is 2/3 or more done.  It has been a GREAT year.  When I took the job I really had no idea what to expect but felt this was where I was meant to be.  It was a really small team and worried Scott wouldn't have anyone to train with.  Our first outing was the River Otter Parade and the families and kids were amazing.  It made me really excited for the atmosphere and great kids and families we got to spend the summer with.  The schedule couldn't have been any better.  2 hours in the evening or morning. I was able to spend the bulk of my day being a mom.  Last year it was too many hours away from my family.  I felt like I was coaching and being a mom on the side or too tired to go on adventures with my kids.  Now I feel like a mom with coaching on the side.  We are all having a great time and the schedule is perfect.  Renee picks up the 3 kids that don't swim and brings them to kids club at the gym which is good for them to play and hang out wit

We had a fun day at Lake Anza in Tilden Park with friends.  Regional Parks are free on Friday so we hit this one up.  It was so fun.  Best part is being with great friends.  Lots of laughs about homeschool, how boring life as a lifeguard would be, swim testing and so much more!  Love our tribe.  We are blessed. 

This meet was slick because it was at Heritage High, which is right across the street from us.  Parker and Hanna were home with a sitter and I went to the meet with my big lens.  I don't think the kids did that great but at least they swam, and for Blake, that's saying something.  Lots of times he gets too anxious and won't even get on the blocks.   Not a bad dive Blake doing the 25 breast  Kira doing 100 IM.  She was pretty tired at the end of it.  Blake doing 25 free. Okay, that's all for now.  Bye.

Last night the Olsons came over for din din and a smore's fire.  It was fun.  Britton and I were sitting on the couch while the kids were playing outside and I said, "Living the dream!"  Like, sitting down and doing nothing is living the dream.   I wanted to memorialize the event with my big camera.   Hanna and the critter face Kira's posed smile is a little more natural than it was in the past Mr. Hollywood in his element
