Look out, Esther Williams!

Emily has started synchronized swimming this summer!  She is having a great time and told me this week that she can't wait until next Monday when she can go back to class.  This is a HUGE improvement over last summer, if any of you will recall!  I took her to the pool today and was simply amazed at how she flips and swims like a fish everywhere.  I only have this one picture of her entire swim group which was taken by her amazing teacher, Miss Betsie, because parents don't attend synchronized practices.  The swim show is supposed to be a big surprise for all of us.  Emily loves the idea of keeping secrets about her performance.  I think this picture of her with her swim friends is just precious.  She's the one in purple, by the way - they all become kind of anonymous in their swim caps and goggles!
